The emergence of the Docklands as a prime residential area is widely regarded as one of the success stories for regeneration schemes in recent years. The riversides from Tower Bridge to Canary Wharf are now almost fully developed, and bustling communities have developed in areas such as Wapping, Canary Wharf and Limehouse.

There are many different apartments to suit all tastes, although the focus is on high quality for the young professional. There is a stylish mix of funky warehouse conversions, loft spaces and contemporary apartments, many with idyllic views of the river.

DAA Residential is the premier property company in Wapping and the Docklands with an enviable and long-established reputation for over two decades for offering the very best quality apartments and houses for sale and rental.

Wapping

Steeped with history and is the birth place of the warehouse conversion. The cobbled Wapping High Street, with its imposing warehouses, looks and feels like it would have done a century ago. However, behind the walls of the warehouses are vast apartments, many with spectacular river views that combine all the comforts of modern living, with the history of a bygone age. This area now attracts the wealthy professionals from the City and Canary Wharf who are looking for large, plush riverside apartments, offering easy access to work. The area also boasts the picturesque St Katherine's Yacht Haven, numerous historical pubs such as the Captain Kidd, and a wide selection of restaurants.

Isle of Dogs

The regeneration of London Docklands began in 1984, and the symbol most synonymous with the regeneration is the Canary Wharf tower. Once a solitary skyscraper the skyline is now transformed with the addition of HSBC, Citigroup, Bank of America and Barclays towers. As the business district has grown, so has the infrastructure. The travel links are vastly improved with the Jubilee Line, and the DLR extensions to Lewisham and City airport. Canary Wharf now boasts two shopping malls, numerous restaurants and bars, and several residential areas that make it a vibrant, funky area that attracts the young professionals who work there.

Limehouse

Limehouse nestles perfectly between Wapping and Canary Wharf and it has emerged as a location of choice for people working in the City or Canary Wharf. Narrow Street has many of the characteristics of Wapping, with classic warehouse conversions lining the river. In contrast to the historical riverside warehouses, Limehouse Basin has bloomed into a picturesque marina surrounded by modern, purpose-built apartments. Narrow Street boasts famous gastro pubs such as The Grapes and Gordon Ramsay’s latest eatery The Narrow.
