Slightly wonky solo house at Rotherhithe on the south bank of the Thames in central London
Seen at low tide.
The very first thing I noticed about this house was that it was tilted to one side.
Sometimes known as 'The leaning tower of Rotherhithe', it was formerly a wharf building, but has been in residential use at least since the 1950s.
This is a little bit of the "old" inner London waterfront, that still remains.
The building is brick built, whereas the other wharf buildings surrounding it were either of less robust wooden construction, or were bombed in WW2, or were subsequently demolished as part of a plan to extend Southwark Park to the riverside.
The house was originally part of a row of buildings known as 41 Rotherhithe Street. Its current, revised, address is 1 Fulford Street SE16 4NW.
