The Ropewalk's weekend food market — a local favourite tucked under the railway arches.
A thousand years of food trading, fifteen minutes along the river past London Bridge.

About the Wharf
Shad Thames was once the largest warehouse complex in London — tea, coffee and spice landed here from across the world. A "sufferance wharf" was a landing place licensed by special permission, outside the legal quays of the City: that licence is where the building's name comes from.
The Docklands have been regenerated around it, but the character holds: exposed brickwork, lattice ironwork, the iron bridges still crossing the lane overhead, and the dock at the building's head. Scotts Sufferance Wharf stands as a bridge between eras — honouring its past while offering a thoroughly contemporary riverside life.
