Columbia Wharf was the first set of buildings in a British port designed for grain storage. It was built by James Edmeston, the Victorian hymnwriter, on the banks of the River Thames in Rotherhithe in 1864. It is located to the south of Cuckold's Point and the north of Nelson Dock Pier.
In 1914 the building was adaptated for more general use, such as storage of tea, coffee, cocoa and dried fruits.
It was in use up until 1976. The façade remains, but it has since been turned into housing with part being incorporated into the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel London - Docklands Riverside.
