across the River Thames.
Limehouse Basin
The Limehouse Basin provides a
navigable link between the Regent’s
Canal and the River Thames,
through the Limehouse Basin
Lock. Redevelopment of the Basin
started in 1983 as part of the
London Docklands Development
Corporation’s overall masterplan for
the Docklands area. However, it took
many years for the scheme to come
to fruition and become the stunning
Marina we are now so proud of.

The Prospect of Whitby
The Prospect of Whitby is a historic
pub on the banks of the Thames at
Wapping. It lays claim to being the
site of the oldest riverside tavern,
dating from around 1520. It was
formerly known as the Devil’s Tavern,
on account of its dubious reputation.
Before that it was officially called
“The Pelican”. All that remains from
the building’s earliest period is the
400 year old stone floor.

Tomtom
Founded in 1997, Tomtom Cigars has become one of London’s leading cigar merchants with
a reputation for bringing the very best of Cuba to the slightly drearier streets of London.
The entire shop exudes cool Cuban charm from the whirling ceiling fan above, to the laid-
back staff and the distinct smell of sweet tobacco that wafts onto the street outside.
The company has the highest classification from Habanos, the Cuban Cigar Authority,
as a Specialist in Havanas, not to mention the seal of approval from their local council,
City of Westminster, as a Havana Specialist – which allows them the very rare privilege
of offering cigar tasting to their customers. Yes, you can actually smoke in here!
Tomtom also stocks a wonderful range of accessories for the cigar aficionado from
humidors to cigar cutters, and even boasts a super-cool range of Havana Club brand
ashtrays in the brightest of colours.
Further additions to the range include some beautiful vintage pieces including a
collection of match strikers and a lovely range of Diptyque candles specially picked out
to appeal to the cigar enthusiast’s nose. For one of the largest ranges of Havana cigars,
as well as a great selection of lesser known branded smokes, be sure to consult the
experts at Tomtom.

Designer Focus
Camerich
Camerich began life as a furniture manufacturer in 1997 with the goal of providing quality, practical
design at reasonable prices. The company’s philosophy has always been to meet and exceed
customer expectation at every level. The combination of 100 own-branded retail outlets across
40 countries and in-house design, development and manufacture allow the company a direct line
from consumer to design studio to factory-floor. The resulting product range offers contemporary
design that is practical, affordable and of the highest quality.
Owner Rowen Meehan has over ten years experience in the modern furniture industry and before
joining Camerich, his experience of ultra-modern furniture had always been that it was cost-
prohibitive and offered little to the average customer who was design-savvy, but still wanted a
product they could actually use. He agreed with the classic designer Charles Eames – “we want to
make the best, for the most, for the least” – and set about putting that philosophy into practice.
The products he designs and develops with Camerich attempt to bring modern design back to
the realms of real life – in terms of both practicality and affordability – but without compromise
on look or quality. The ever
popular Casa Sofa range brings
clean lines, chunky features and
unrivalled comfort to the homes
of the UK market. The modular nature of
the range allows the customer to create their perfect combination.

Stunning new development in
Greenwich takes dance and light as

fashionable apartments
D
eveloped by Telford Homes, a new
development in Greenwich is offering
Thames-side living and luxury in a
series of one, two and three bedroom
apartments.
Located just off Creek Road, Greenwich Creekside
will be spread across four buildings, which range
from eight to 17 storeys in height, with a sleek
modern look in steel and glass. These four apartment
buildings will be called Adagio Apartments, Cavatina
Apartments, The Vertex and The Atrium – which
form part of the larger Greenwich Creekside.
Living in style
All the Adagio apartments include solid wood
veneer flooring, fully integrated kitchens, with
Smeg appliances as standard, finished in cherry
and cappuccino. Bathrooms have white and chrome
fittings from Hansgrohe and Roca. The rest of the
apartment features chrome door handles and light
switches, recessed downlights to kitchens and
bathrooms and Sky+, TV and telephone outlets. In
addition, the homes benefit from a 24-hour concierge
service, monitored CCTV security, video entry
system and the option of secured underground car
parking. All apartments will also benefit from internal
and external balconies and terraces, many with
fabulous views over the River Thames and across to
Canary Wharf.
The attention to detail also continues externally.
Each of the four buildings are clad in a combination
of glass and glass-faced insulated panels that
provide natural ventilation, as well as insulation and
thermal mass properties. Balconies made of steel and
glass with hardwood flooring break up the façade.
A greener life
There are several eco-friendly features at Greenwich
Creekside. The development complies with Level 3
of the Code for Sustainable Homes. A biomass boiler,
fuelled by entirely organic matter, will run as the lead
boiler 24 hours a day and account for 10% of the
energy used.

AREA SPOTLIGHT
limehouse
The Narrow, a beautiful grade II listed
building, is the gastro pub formally
known as the Barley Mow that chef
extraordinaire Gordon Ramsey has
added to his portfolio of restaurants.
The restaurant has a captive
audience and has quickly become a
favourite amongst the locals. Serving
traditional pub food and real ale,
why not enjoy the ambience of the
surroundings and exquisite views
across the River Thames.
limehouse Basin
The Limehouse Basin provides a
navigable link between the Regent’s
Canal and the River Thames,
through the Limehouse Basin
Lock. Redevelopment of the Basin
started in 1983 as part of the
London Docklands Development
Corporation’s overall masterplan for
the Docklands area. However, it took
many years for the scheme to come
to fruition and become the stunning
Marina we are now so proud of.

The ProsPecT of WhiTby
The Prospect of Whitby is a historic
pub on the banks of the Thames at
Wapping. It lays claim to being the
site of the oldest riverside tavern,
dating from around 1520. It was
formerly known as the Devil’s Tavern,
on account of its dubious reputation.
Before that it was officially called
“The Pelican”. All that remains from
the building’s earliest period is the
400 year old stone floor.

The Gallery was established in 1885
to house and display paintings and
sculpture belonging to the Corporation
of London. Located in the historic
heart of The City next to the medieval
Guildhall, the present building opened
to the public in 1999. The collection
includes portraits from the 16th
century through to modern day,
plus views of London from the 17th
century.

tomtom
Founded in 1997, Tomtom Cigars has become one of London’s leading cigar merchants with
a reputation for bringing the very best of Cuba to the slightly drearier streets of London.
The entire shop exudes cool Cuban charm from the whirling ceiling fan above, to the laid-
back staff and the distinct smell of sweet tobacco that wafts onto the street outside.
The company has the highest classification from Habanos, the Cuban Cigar Authority,
as a Specialist in Havanas, not to mention the seal of approval from their local council,
City of Westminster, as a Havana Specialist – which allows them the very rare privilege
of offering cigar tasting to their customers. Yes, you can actually smoke in here!
Tomtom also stocks a wonderful range of accessories for the cigar aficionado from
humidors to cigar cutters, and even boasts a super-cool range of Havana Club brand
ashtrays in the brightest of colours.
Further additions to the range include some beautiful vintage pieces including a
collection of match strikers and a lovely range of Diptyque candles specially picked out
to appeal to the cigar enthusiast’s nose. For one of the largest ranges of Havana cigars,
as well as a great selection of lesser known branded smokes, be sure to consult the
experts at Tomtom.

Designer Focus
Camerich
Camerich began life as a furniture manufacturer in 1997 with the goal of providing quality, practical
design at reasonable prices. The company’s philosophy has always been to meet and exceed
customer expectation at every level. The combination of 100 own-branded retail outlets across
40 countries and in-house design, development and manufacture allow the company a direct line
from consumer to design studio to factory-floor. The resulting product range offers contemporary
design that is practical, affordable and of the highest quality.
Owner Rowen Meehan has over ten years experience in the modern furniture industry and before
joining Camerich, his experience of ultra-modern furniture had always been that it was cost-
prohibitive and offered little to the average customer who was design-savvy, but still wanted a
product they could actually use. He agreed with the classic designer Charles Eames – “we want to
make the best, for the most, for the least” – and set about putting that philosophy into practice.
The products he designs and develops with Camerich attempt to bring modern design back to
the realms of real life – in terms of both practicality and affordability – but without compromise
on look or quality. The ever
popular Casa Sofa range brings
clean lines, chunky features and
unrivalled comfort to the homes
of the UK market. The modular nature of
the range allows the customer to create their perfect combination.

apartments.
Located just off Creek Road, Greenwich Creekside
will be spread across four buildings, which range
from eight to 17 storeys in height, with a sleek
modern look in steel and glass. These four apartment
buildings will be called Adagio Apartments, Cavatina
Apartments, The Vertex and The Atrium – which
form part of the larger Greenwich Creekside.

All the Adagio apartments include solid wood
veneer flooring, fully integrated kitchens, with
Smeg appliances as standard, finished in cherry

switches, recessed downlights to kitchens and
bathrooms and Sky+, TV and telephone outlets. In
addition, the homes benefit from a 24-hour concierge
service, monitored CCTV security, video entry
system and the option of secured underground car
parking. All apartments will also benefit from internal
and external balconies and terraces, many with
fabulous views over the River Thames and across to
Canary Wharf.
The attention to detail also continues externally.
Each of the four buildings are clad in a combination
of glass and glass-faced insulated panels that
provide natural ventilation, as well as insulation and
thermal mass properties. Balconies made of steel and
glass with hardwood flooring break up the façade.
A greener Life
There are several eco-friendly features at Greenwich
