Property description
A 409 sq ft one bedroom suite available as an off plan re-sale in one of London\'s most ambitious development projects
Just minutes from Canary Wharf, and less than half an hour from Oxford Street, this will be a rich, textured neighbourhood, focused around a lively central high street, a broad market square and a rolling riverside park. Criss-crossed with inviting side-streets and charming mews, Royal Wharf will also be peppered with public squares and gardens, modelled on the greatest traditions of London estates.
This will be a place where parents can drop their children at school, then stroll home – stopping off at the local bakery and greengrocer for a few essentials.
A place to picnic in the park at weekends, catch up with neighbours at a favourite cafe; or amble along almost a full kilometre of beautifully planted riverside walk. It will be a friendly, even intimate, local neighbourhood. A place to call home.
The sense of space here, where the Thames stretches to almost a mile wide, and the broad flat land of the docks opens up great expanses of sky, is like nowhere else in the city.
Either side of Royal Wharf there are large parks, adding an even greater sense of natural openness. To the east is Lyle Park, opened in 1924 by Sir Leonard Lyle of the sugar company Tate & Lyle. To the west are the 22 acres of the award-winning Thames Barrier Park, filled with fountains, lawns and flower gardens, as well as a children’s play area and sports facilities.
The DLR rail line links the site to the Underground network and the whole of the capital. You can be at Bond Street in 20 minutes – and the O2 in a little over five. The Emirates cable car is a wonderful way to cross the Thames, gliding from the Royal Docks to the Greenwich Peninsula in seven minutes. Or why not take to the water on a Thames riverboat? And with London City Airport less than five minutes away by DLR, its quick and easy to fly all over Europe or even to New York. Connections will get even better when Crossrail opens in 2018. Europes biggest engineering project, this pioneering service will link London and its neighbouring counties to the east and west. From Custom House station, close to Royal Wharf, it will ll be just 15 minutes into central London. Even Heathrow airport will be less than 45 minutes away.
