Wapping's London Dock undergoes radical transformation

Clerkenwell-based architects Patel Taylor has become one of London’s most in-demand mid-sized practices, with a portfolio including schools, skyscrapers, and the Crossrail Place Roof Garden at Canary Wharf. The firm is currently helping develop London Dock in Wapping, a 15-acre site through which cargoes of spices, coffee, cocoa, wine, wool and ivory were once imported into the capital. It will eventually contain 1,800 new homes within a short walk of the Tower of London and St Katharine Docks, plus shops, restaurants, cafés and workspaces. Patel Taylor is also contributing to the development, with Cashmere Wharf, a 28-storey steel-and-glass tower containing 144 apartments. Prices at London Dock start from £760,000 for a one-bedroom apartment, and from £1.22m for a two-bedroom apartment
