"Home to a dozen independent businesses, Gabriel's Wharf opened to shoppers in 1988. Business owners on the site have now been told that they must move out in a year's time as the site is going to be demolished. Current indie businesses in the wharf include jewellery makers, clothing designers, pottery makers, art galleries and a variety of food artisans."
"However, Gabriel Wharf is expected to close before Christmas 2026, as Coin Street, the social enterprise responsible for redeveloping the area in the early 1980s, wants to regenerate the site into a new 'meanwhile use' space while they decide more permanent plans for the future. There are also plans to build a nursing home on the site within the next 10-15 years."
Gabriel's Wharf on London's South Bank, opened in 1988, houses a dozen independent businesses including jewellers, clothing designers, potters, galleries and food artisans. Traders have been told to cease trading by 27 September 2026 as Coin Street plans closure and demolition of units reaching the end of their life. Coin Street intends to install a temporary 'meanwhile use' and has not finalised permanent plans, though a nursing home is proposed within 10–15 years. Traders requested an extension to trade through two more Christmases but were refused, leaving many feeling devastated. The tenants association will meet Coin Street and MP Florence Eshalomi.
