Butler's Wharf

Butler's Wharf is on the south bank of the river Thames just east of London's Tower Bridge - overlooking both the bridge and St Katherine's Dock on the other side of the river.

 

Butler's Wharf was built in the 19th century as a shipping wharf and warehouse complex, accommodating goods unloaded from ships using the port of London. It contained what was reputedly the largest tea warehouse in the world. During the 20th century, Butler's Wharf and other warehouses in the area fell into disuse.
