Tony Fretton has designed this timber clad cafe along Tower Wharf, to directly engage with the architecture of the Tower of London. In his own words he sees it as an upside-down interpretation of the Tower. The building stretches from beneath the arches of Tower Bridge ending as zig-zagging canopy above an exterior dining area.
