Deconstruction work has begun at Chambers Wharf, a Thames Tideway or ‘super sewer’ site, on Bermondsey Wall.
With tunnelling complete, deconstruction involves removal of infill from the temporary concrete cofferdam. This long task is being undertaken by barges sailing to and from Tilbury. The operation is expected to be completed in January.
A new river wall is being built.
Only following building of residential blocks on the wharf will the new riverside path be opened sometime after 2030.
Chambers Wharf was known for its bonded warehouses and cold store for imported food.
