Nelson Dock House, Rotherhithe

Nelson Dock House was built by a shipwright in 1743, overlooking his boatyard on the Thames at Rotherhithe.  In the 1970s it became a conference centre for the Hilton hotel that was built on the dockyard.

Keith Day bought it in 2013 in poor condition and set about restoring its accommodation to serve as a single residence once more, returning its joinery, plasterwork and other Georgian details to their former condition.

Nelson Dock House has been shortlisted for the Georgian Group Architectural Awards 2022 in the `Restoration of a Georgian Building in an Urban Setting` category.
