History

Construction

The warehouse was built in 1870 by architects Frederick and Horace Francis to store tea and other cargo.^[3][4] It had a capacity of 60,000 packages.^[5]

Conversion to housing

In 1972, Oliver's Wharf was converted into luxury apartments by Tony Goddard of Goddard Manton Partnership. It is the first of Wapping's, and one of the first Docklands warehouses altogether, to undergo such a conversion.^[3][4]
