Description

Temple Reach is a late 19th-century building located on Wharf Lane. The front elevation is made of painted brick, featuring a plastered gable end. The structure is 2 and a half storeys high and has three windows and two doors, one of which has a flat hood supported by iron brackets. The river-facing side is plastered and has a tiled roof, with a gabled end that includes a fretted bargeboard. This side is two storeys tall, and the first floor has a spiral staircase leading from the landing stage to a first-floor balcony. There is a continuous strip of modern windows on this elevation, and the ground floor also features modern windows.

Temple Reach is part of a group with Nos 25 to 29 (odd) Thameside and No 88 New Street, as well as the courtyard surface behind No 88. It also belongs to a second group with all the listed buildings on Wharf Lane.

Local climate

Temple Reach sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 720 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 81% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 77% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 50% of listed buildings. Of these, 14 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
