Local Information
Wapping, E1W
Steeped in history dating back to the early middle Ages, Wapping is the birth place of the sensitive warehouse conversion. The cobbled Wapping High Street with its imposing warehouses looks and feels like it would have done a century or more ago. However, behind the walls of these warehouses are often vast apartments, some 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 pedestrian as well as public transport access to work. The area also boasts the picturesque St Katherine’s Yacht Haven, numerous historical pubs such as the Prospect of Whitby and a wide selection of restaurants and cafes.
We always have flats and apartments for sale or rental in the prime developments in Wapping including New Crane Wharf, Prusoms Island, Dundee Court, Cinnabar Wharf, Trafalgar Court, Great Jubilee Wharf, Pierhead Wharf are just a few to mention.

Canary Wharf and the Isle of Dogs, E14
The regeneration of London Docklands began in 1984. Canary Wharf tower symbolizes that regeneration more than any other building. Once Canary Wharf tower was the only skyscraper but recently the skyline has been dramatically transformed with the addition of the HSBC, Citigroup, Bank of America and Barclay’s towers amongst many others. 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 really vibrant funky and stylish area attracting both young professionals and investors alike.

Limehouse, E14
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 of Wapping, Limehouse Basin has become the focus of the area and has been transformed into a picturesque marina surrounded by modern, purpose-built apartments. Narrow Street itself boasts famous pubs such as The Bunch of Grapes and Gordon Ramsay’s very latest gastro pub, The Narrow.
