Royal Wharf - Property Development in Canary Wharf, E16, London

As developers exploit more space, corporate professionals will find themselves with more choice when looking to rent apartments in London and Royal Dock in Silvertown is one of the more attractive options. Taking up 500 metres of Thames waterfront, the view from the one, two and three bedroom apartments is spectacular. Residents will be able to look out over the Thames Barrier, the O2 arena and upriver to Canary Wharf. They will also be able to shop, eat and socialise around a purpose built high street which will include a 3,000 sq. ft. Sainsbury's.

The Royal Dock new development takes up 40 acres of space next to a riverside park which, together with the landscaped grounds, will be a big draw for young families. Aside from the spacious balconies, the apartments feature wood floors, fitted kitchens and modern bathrooms. An on-site fitness centre takes up the two floors that adjoin the 24 hour concierge and includes a full gym, a 25 metre swimming pool and a café. For more recreational and entertainment options there is the O2 Centre which is a short cable car ride away. The venue contains concert halls, a bowling alley, a multiplex cinema and dozens of restaurants.

The Crossrail initiative which is now called the Elizabeth Line is bound to make a big impact on life in Silvertown. From Custom House Station, residents of Royal Dock will be able to reach Canary Wharf in three minutes, the City in eight and the West End in fifteen. As it stands, the area is still well connected with both the DLR and the Jubilee Line running trains into Zone 1.
