Columbia Wharf, Rotherhithe, Historic grain silo in Rotherhithe, England
Columbia Wharf stands prominently on the south bank of the River Thames, featuring a preserved facade that reflects its industrial heritage and modern residential spaces.
Constructed in 1864 by architect James Edmeston, Columbia Wharf marked a milestone as the first grain silo established within a British port system.
The transformation of Columbia Wharf from an industrial storage facility to residential units represents the evolution of London's maritime districts into modern living spaces.
The building at 265 Rotherhithe Street connects to central London through the nearby Doubletree Docklands pier, offering regular river bus services to Canary Wharf.
The complex includes an original Victorian engine house and boiler room, which remain as testaments to the building's former role in grain storage operations.
