Duke Shore Wharf Overview
Duke Shore Wharf is a boutique development of 25 apartments built around a central courtyard on the riverside of Narrow Street. It is one of the few Limehouse developments to have individual lock up garages. Built by Sir Robert McAlpine in 1986, and made up of one and two bedroom apartments, all with views of the River Thames.
Samuel Pepys referred to the “Duke Shore Stairs” in his diary of a visit to a porcelain factory in Narrow Street, while en route to view work on boats being built for Herring fishing. As well as Limehouse getting its name from the local lime kilns by the River and operated by the large potteries that served the shipping in the London Docks, the area was also known for its fitting out and repairing of ships.
With renowned pubs and restaurants on the doorstep in Limehouse, there is also a large shopping district just a short walk away in Canary Wharf. Offering fashion, Jewellery, departments stores and a multitude of food places and restaurants/bars, it caters for the growing number of workers at Canary Wharf and the surrounding Docklands.
