In addition, the property has been finished to a very high standard that celebrates the superb architectural features of this magnificent Victorian building. The Southside of the River Thames beside Tower Bridge is steeped in history from pre-Roman times. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the area became known as London's Larder owing to the local wharves used to store food transferred from ships from around the world. This apartment is on the first floor and was designed by local architects Newman and Newman in 1899 to provide offices in red brick Victorian style. It was incorporated into the local conservation area in 1985. In 1994 the building was beautifully reconfigured by MGB Architects to provide four flats on the ground floor, another four on the first floor with two penthouses in the roof space. The building has many impressive features, including cornices, dado rails, wrought iron balustrades, and mahogany doors.
