Why it's Wildland
4.3A riverside landmark with a creative life: Oxo Tower Wharf brings designer-maker studios, shops, dining and exhibitions together in a distinctive South Bank building.
Oxo Tower offers urban character and a riverside setting rather than a wild landscape. Its strongest appeal is as a landmark design destination: a place to browse independent makers and exhibitions, with food and drink on site.
