Putney Wharf Tower

Putney Wharf Tower

Putney Wharf Tower is a tall apartment building at Putney Wharf, Putney, London SW15 2JX, on the river Thames, close to Putney Bridge.

It was originally a 1960s office block for International Computers Limited (ICL),[1] until it was reclad in 2003 and redeveloped for residential use by Patel Taylor. It was built with a restaurant/bar, The Rocket on the ground floor,[2] which was later taken over by the Wetherspoons pub chain.[3]

A curved riverside extension, terracotta cladding and an extra four floors were added to the 1960s block to create a block of 67 two and three bed apartments.[4]
