Butler's Wharf

[2] From 1975 to 1978, the artists' space at 2B Butler's Wharf was a key venue for early UK video art and performance art, including Kevin Atherton, Stephen Partridge, and later, among others by Derek Jarman[3] and the artists and dancers of X6 Dance Collective who published a magazine called New Dance for a number of years.

[6] After the building fell into a state of disuse and then dereliction, Butler's Wharf was transformed into luxury flats, with restaurants and shops on the ground floor.

[7] The conversion of the main building, now known as 34 Shad Thames, which was carried out to a design by Conran Roche, was completed in 1989.

[8] The conversion of the Clove Building, which was carried out by Sir Robert McAlpine to a design by Allies and Morrison, was completed in 1990[7] and the conversion of Tea Trade Wharf, which was carried out by Carillion to a design by OSEL Architecture, was completed in 2003.

[9] Butler's Wharf was used twice as a filming location for Doctor Who, for the episode "World's End" in the serial The Dalek Invasion of Earth (1964) and for the serial Resurrection of the Daleks (1984), which prominently featured Butler's Wharf and the portion of Shad Thames running behind it.
