Warehouse living in London
Shoreditch& Clerkenwell
Shad Thames& Wapping
High ceilings& big windows
Checkheating & noise
In short: London's warehouse conversions, with high ceilings, exposed brick, steel beams and large windows, are concentrated in former industrial and dockside areas. Look in Shoreditch, Clerkenwell, Shad Thames by Tower Bridge, Wapping, Bermondsey and parts of Hackney. They can be harder to heat, open-plan layouts can be noisy, and some buildings have high service charges, so check carefully. Fraser Bond lets and sells warehouse apartments across London.
