The development's name derives from a nearby Victorian ice well. A Mr Carlo Gatti had the huge well constructed in 1857 to store tons of ice imported from Norway and further wells were subsequently built around London. The ice enabled ice-cream to be brought to Londoners for the first time. You can still view the original ice well at the London Canal Museum which is just south of these apartments.
