Greenland Place, Surrey Quays, SE8

As the Thames flows through London, it creates distinctive neighbourhoods, ideal for corporate professionals who enjoy renting apartments by the riverside. Greenland Place is a new development, near to the centre of one such area. Renting accommodation in this up and coming corner of SE8 provides the ideal base for a short commute to work and weekend forays into the West End. The scale of the project is ambitious with four main blocks containing 562 apartments, including a distinctive duo of 19 storey towers. One, two and three bedroom flats are available to rent and with the completion of Helsinki Court, the development is now three-quarters complete.

Balconies and terraces give residents a perfect view of the Thames, its iconic landmarks and sedate river traffic. A 12 hour concierge service, landscaped gardens and a private gym are all provided. Interiors are designed to high specifications with contemporary furnishings and thoroughly up-to-date appliances that promote a sleek, modern look. Greenland Place is well connected to the rest of London and residents will benefit from impressive transport links. Surrey Quays Station is part of the London Overground network and trains from here link to all the Zone 2 areas that surround Central London. For a more stress-free journey to the West End, Docklands and The City, the river taxi service is the best choice. One stop or a short walk from Surrey Quays is Canada Water and from there, the Jubilee Tube trains link to Canary Wharf in a matter of minutes.
