Metropolitan Wharf, E1

Metropolitan Wharf is a Grade II-listed Victorian riverside warehouse and is one of London's most impressive wharf buildings. Sitting on the northern banks of the Thames, the building is sandwiched between the cobbles of Wapping Wall and the lapping of the river, in an atmospheric and hugely characterful location that was not only the capital's nautical hotspot, but also the launch pad of London's urban renaissance.

Wapping is gradually building a name for itself as an emerging scene of creative workspaces that sit alongside its well-established reputation for some of London's most authentic examples of riverside warehouse apartments. The commercial space created in the '80s and '90s from the initial regeneration of the docks is now being renovated into 21st-century workspaces to match those in the City Fringe, but within a unique quarter abutting the eastern side of Tower Bridge. Metropolitan Wharf's latest incarnation is courtesy of UK Real Estate, with the current repositioning of the building led by Hawkins Brown Architects. Alongside the revitalised commercial element, the refurbishment includes eight residential penthouses from Design Research Studio, the interior design arm of Tom Dixon.
