Tea Trade Wharf
Our UK base was for a while a flat in London on the river Thames, in the Shad Thames area. Shad Thames is an area of warehouses and wharves built in the 1800s for the spice trade. The warehouses have now been converted into upscale flats and lofts. There are several good Terence Conran restaurants in the area.
We worked with Juliette Byrne, a London designer, to remodel the flat.

Shad Thames has many old warehouses and wharves, now converted into flats, shops and offices |
The walkways overhead were once used to transport barrels between the warehouses |
The flat was on two levels, and we found these two big David Bailey photographs to decorate the hall |
