Many of the units have beautiful views of the Thames, with access to balconies or terraces overlooking the river. All units have their own or access to a communal WC and kitchen facilities. On-site parking spaces are available to rent and it’s just a five-minute walk to Barnes Bridge Station.

History

The Old Power Station along with Tideway Yard were constructed in 1901. The Old Power Station used to belong to Barnes Council and the borough made its own electricity there, using coal that was brought up the Thames in barges. The London Electricity Board took over the Old Power Station and it gradually fell into disuse and dereliction.

In 1981 Richmond Borough Council decided that they had no further use for Tideway Yard and The Old Power Station and their demolition was proposed. After much outrage from local Mortlake residents a competition was held to find a local architect /developer to develop the site while retaining the best of the original buildings.

The winning design by Gillian Harwood and Philip Lancashire included residential apartments (Tideway Wharf) and office space for new businesses to begin and thrive. The refurbishment and development works were undertaken by Marston Properties. Many of the original features remain at both The Old Power Station and Tideway Yard following their refurbishment, the offices were opened in 1986.
