Putney Wharf


London, UK

Project type: New Urban Quarter
Location: London, UK
Client: St George
Stage: Completed
Programme: 2000–2004

Putney Wharf is on the south side of the River Thames adjacent to Putney High Street.

The site was derelict with dilapidated warehouses from a disused brewery. The former brewery (a locally listed building) was identified as appropriate for retention and refurbishment.

The scheme represented one of Wandsworth’s key projects in the regeneration of the waterfront and continuation of the riverside walkway.
