Grand Union, Alperton, HA0

Taking its name and inspiration from the historic canal route that flows past it, Grand Union is a new property development that is leading the revival of London’s western suburbs. Although the canal is no longer the commercial artery it once was, it nevertheless provides a restful environment for young families and corporate professionals, looking to rent modern homes in a tranquil setting. Consisting of over three thousand superbly designed one, two and three bedroom apartments, Grand Union is less than thirty minutes away from Central London.

All apartments have balcony or terrace space and a professional concierge service oversees the efficient running of the development that boasts excellent on-site facilities including a residents’ lounge, ten-pin bowling alley and gym. The focal point for the scheme is the canal side piazza, a space where cafes, shops and small artisan businesses can flourish. Developers, Berkeley are past experts at building communities and this integrated thinking extends to the interiors which are bright, contemporary and well-equipped for modern urban living. Other on-site facilities include a medical centre and private nursery.

Transport links are excellent as Stonebridge Park which is just a short walk away is on the Bakerloo underground Tube network and also the main overground route into Euston. Trains from here travel straight into the West End via Wembley, Baker Street and Oxford Circus – ideal for students attending Imperial College or University of Westminster. Grand Union’s West London location also means that it is a short taxi journey from all five terminals of Heathrow Airport.
