Historical London sight
Mar 2021
Gorgeous architecture and beautiful cobbled streets lining the old warehouses. Lovely for a stroll and deep in history in East London.

Throwback
Jan 2020
We had a little stroll around here and loved it. There was actually a photo of the walkways in our hotel room that looked really cool, we didn't realise it was here. It looks really cool, a little throwback in time.

Pre theatre meal
Dec 2019 • Family
Average meal with slow service albeit very pleasant in manner. Wish we had gone with original choice of the Cantina just further along.
Homogeneous cuisine from a standard Resturant chain.
Aperol spritz was pleasant albeit it turned up with an olive in ! Although my wife liked the addition I thought it was wrong on many levels - it’s not a martini!
Gluten free pizza was the star for my sister in law. My ravioli was over baked. One daughters crab ravioli was far to rich even for my taste.
A little disappointed - a bit more effort it could deliver

Super old area
Oct 2019 • Solo
Cobble stone streets and the converted wear houses with the wooden bridges overhead. Great bars and restaurants. Recommended

Step back into Old London - A good walk
Oct 2019 • Solo
If you want to feel old London, Shad Thames is worth going to. Yes, there is a modern feel. But, you can also feel yourself walking at the old wharf.

A nice street
Aug 2019 • Family
A nice quiet street which takes you back to when the Thames was used to transport goods. It has nice restaurants on the riverside and good views of the Tower Bridge.

Great Area
Aug 2019 • Friends
A truly lovely area, which has benefited from extensive regeneration over the years, plenty of the old warehouses have been converted into homes, any new buildings are obviously made to compliment the existing structures.

amazing
Jun 2019
An architecturally beautiful part of old London. A place where you can take amazing photos. Shad Thames is a historic riverside street and a complex of buildings next to Tower Bridge an informal name for the surrounding area.

Less touristy
Jun 2019 • Couples
This neighborhood is close to the Tower Bridge but with a lot fewer tourists. Some interesting 19th century architecture.

May 2019
Great area on the southbank near by Tower Bridge.
After youve been to Borough Market,take the Queens Walk,down the side of the Thames to TowerBridge and youre there in fifteen minutes.
Great unusual architecture,where the old warehouses still command you look andvexplrebthevsrea.
Loads of old spice warehouses around Shad Thames, on a hot day thevaromas seep,out ofbthe brickwork into the air.
Theres also,lots of places for ounch and dinner and breakfast!
Plus itsca greatvwalk down the Thames,lots to see on both sides of the water.

I think you're mistaking Shad Thames with the Shard. Duddell's (note the spelling difference), is located in 9a St Thomas Street. Which is near the Shard, but certainly not near Shad Thames.
If you Google Duddell's, you will find all info on where it is and how to get there.
