THE SPIRIT OF SHAD THAMES - PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION
Friday 7 to Saturday 22 June
Thu-Sun 11am-5pm at Anise Gallery, 13a Shad Thames
From once being known affectionately as London's Larder,
through dereliction to desirability, the history of Shad
Thames has been an ever evolving story. The area has always
been firmly on the map. From the early 19th Century, the now
picturesque setting of Shad Thames was the centre of the
world's biggest industrial port. To today, when people flock
to this part of London to see the many delights its windy
cobbles hold close. Thanks to its illustrious trading
history, the streets of Shad Thames house the largest
warehouse complex in London, retaining such characteristic
features as suspended bridges and winches. It was from here
that all of London's tea, coffee and spices were loaded and
offloaded from boats travelling along the Thames. Many of
the warehouses still retain the names of the spices they
stored, and it is fitting that the exhibition is held in
Anise Gallery, itself a former spice warehouse. The 1980s
and 90s brought regeneration as developers and designers
breathed architectural life back into the area. Converted
warehouses, the Design Museum, China Wharf, The Circle, The
David Mellor Building and the numerous projects undertaken
by Sir Terence Conran all contributed to Shad Thames being
reinvented as one of the most unique districts in London,
highly sought after as a place to live, work, eat and drink.
This exhibition is a celebration of the wonder of Shad
Thames, captured by those who best know its history and
secrets, the locals. The photographs on display have been
selected from an array of submissions resulting from a
competition that was set up by the Shad Thames Residents'
Association and reflect, in each individual's eye, The
Spirit of Shad Thames.

advance
The Blue Fin garden is situated on the 10th floor of an
award-winning building with panoramic views over London and
the river. It has been designed as a contemporary space for
employees to both relax and eat. The planting is simple and
striking and complements the harder lines of the building by
incorporating curves with architectural foliage and flowers.
The garden was designed by Mathew Bell, who continues to
look after the garden and its plants. During the summer
months, the space is well used by staff working in the
building for lunch breaks, coffee breaks and meetings. Other
uses for this unique space are external functions, weddings
and also filming. The small collection of six grape vines is
