WHERE HERITAGE EVOLVES INTO LUXURY
Discover the Difference
Discover one of Wapping’s most remarkable warehouse conversions — a timeless blend of London’s industrial heritage and modern luxury living.
Recently featured in Marie Claire Maison, the Villa Issima Warehouse sits within Great Jubilee Wharf, a Grade II listed Victorian timber warehouse on the River Thames. Every element of its year-long restoration, overseen by its interior designer owner, celebrates the building’s authentic factory character while introducing refined contemporary comfort.
The Villa Issima Warehouse has been designed for the long-term rental market while also offering a distinctive and versatile setting for film shoots and commercial productions.
ACCOMMODATION — GROUND FLOOR
Designed for Living
The apartment spans over 2,600 sq ft, split over two floors. The large open plan ground floor has been thoughtfully designed for relaxed, social living. Original brick pillars, exposed steel columns, and timber beams frame a series of open-plan reception areas that flow seamlessly together.
At the heart of the space lies a bespoke chef’s kitchen with all cabinets made from solid steel by Steel Vintage in Bristol and a striking statement in granite, metal, and glass. Fully equipped with a high-end induction hob, extra-wide oven, wine cooler, and breakfast bar beneath utilitarian pendant lighting, it’s a space made for entertaining.
A hidden back kitchen room keeps the practical elements — sink, steam oven, dual dishwashers, and pantry storage — neatly out of sight, echoing the same premium design details as the main kitchen.
Toward the river, a Crittall-style glazed study offers an inspiring workspace with sweeping views of the Thames, while an adjoining guest suite provides a peaceful retreat for visitors. Step outside onto the cantilevered balcony to enjoy the rhythmic sound of the water and uninterrupted views of Canary Wharf — a serene contrast to the city’s energy.
A versatile snug room on the lower level offers flexible use as a third bedroom, TV lounge, or home gym.
The ground floor is completed with a unique guest bathroom which has been created with graffiti walls and historic memorabilia, making it truly special and unique.
ACCOMMODATION — UPPER FLOOR
Private Sanctuary
A double-volume entrance hall and backlit industrial staircase lead to nearly 1,200 sq ft of upper-level living space. From the galleried landing, two spacious double bedrooms extend across the floor, each with generous built-in storage.
The principal suite features a dedicated dressing area and an elegant en-suite shower room, complemented by a second luxurious bathroom for guests. Every detail, from textures to lighting, reflects quiet sophistication and comfort.
Building & Amenities
Great Jubilee Wharf combines historic architecture with the conveniences of modern city living. Residents benefit from a portered entrance, secure underground parking with an allocated space, and two large bicycle storage rooms.
The Villa Issima Warehouseis more than a home — it’s an experience of London’s riverside history, transformed into a space of warmth, design, and understated luxury.
SERENE URBAN HAVEN
Location
Wapping is a hidden gem on London’s historic Thames, offering a rare combination of riverside tranquillity and vibrant urban charm. Its peaceful, tree-lined streets showcase elegant architecture from multiple eras, giving the area a distinct sense of character and community.
Just minutes on foot, Wapping High Street embodies the essence of an urban village. Delight in quaint cafés, artisan coffee houses, and local favourites such as The Wapping Tavern, the legendary Prospect of Whitby — one of London’s oldest pubs — Hussey’s Butcher, and Sainsbury’s Local. For a perfect start to the day, Urban Baristas, tucked around the corner, serves expertly brewed coffee to set your morning in motion.
The Thames Path, meandering through Wapping to St Katharine Docks, is a haven for walkers, runners, and cyclists, offering serene riverside vistas that change with the tides.
Another added benefit for fitness enthusiasts is that the Train Yard Gym is right at the front entrance of Great Jubilee Wharf, almost making it part of the complex.
Transportation & Connections
Despite its peaceful setting, Wapping is remarkably well-connected. Wapping Overground Station, less than a 4-minute walk away, links you swiftly to Shoreditch High Street, New Cross, and beyond. The DLR at Shadwell provides direct access to the City and Canary Wharf, while frequent buses connect the area to Central London. Here, riverside calm and effortless city living exist in perfect harmony.
