London Shad Thames II

by Marlika Art

Where warehouses once stood side by side, luxury flats can now be found. However, the façades of the old warehouses in the historic ‘Shad Thames’ district have been preserved: today, one can admire the beautiful streetscapes with their characteristic tall brick buildings and the iron bridges along the Thames: You feel as though you’ve been transported back to a bygone era when precious goods, such as coffee and grain, were once delivered here. The Victorian warehouse district has also frequently served as a film set thanks to its unique charm and historical backdrop. Today, it is home not only to luxury flats but also to trendy restaurants and bars that attract countless visitors. It exudes a very special charm.
The image shows a detail of one such façade with its characteristic bricks and windows. A slice of London’s present and past in the borough of Southwark.
Industrial and urban, it combines London’s architecture and history.
The image is equally suited to commercial premises and living spaces, particularly those with an industrial & shabby chic style. But it also fits well wherever architecture, history and urban landscapes are at home.
