Oliver's Wharf

Oliver's Wharf stands as a commanding example of Victorian Gothic Revival architecture, designed by architects Frederick and Horace Francis in eighteen seventy. Its red brick facade and tall arched windows were engineered specifically for the intensity of the nineteenth century tea trade. At its peak, this single structure could store sixty thousand packages of tea delivered directly from ships on the River Thames. It serves as a rare and significant survivor of the industrial landscape that once defined this stretch of the waterfront.
