Pumping Station DP195587
Isle of Dogs Pumping Station, Stewart Street, Tower Hamlets,
London. John Outrams Temple of Storms was built as part of the 1980s regeneration of Londons Docklands. Edward Hollamby was chief architect and planner to the Docklands Development Corporation and, rather than using his in-house team, hired a number of leading private architects including Nicholas Grimshaw, Richard Rogers and John Outram. Built on a small budget, the pumping station is (typically of Outrams work) heavy with complex iconography making extensive reference classical architecture and mythology. It was listed at Grade II* in 2017

A true testament to the 1980s regeneration of London's Docklands, this architectural gem was brought to life by a team of renowned architects including Nicholas Grimshaw, Richard Rogers, and John Outram. Under the guidance of Edward Hollamby, chief architect and planner for the Docklands Development Corporation, this pumping station stands as a symbol of innovation and creativity. Despite being constructed on a limited budget, Outram's distinctive style shines through every intricate detail. The building is heavily influenced by classical architecture and mythology with its complex iconography.
