London City Island, Hope Street, E14

Just one stop away from Canary Wharf, London City Island is an innovative new creative quarter that is also set to become Dockland’s latest property hotspot. This winning Combination of sleek modernity and East London enterprise stands in the centre of a picturesque loop of water that flows directly into the River Thames opposite the Millennium Dome. Comprising a superbly designed selection of one and two bedroom apartments, London City Island provides excellent views of the capital’s skyline and is conveniently near to several main transport links.

The apartments in Java Wharf, Grantham House and Amelia House all have high spec finishes and feature wood flooring, integrated kitchens and balcony views. Residents have access to a private gym, sauna and clubhouse which are all professionally managed by a 24-hour concierge. The apartments share the island with a number of prestigious neighbours which include the English National Ballet and the London Film School and the atmosphere around the central courtyard is one of buzzing creativity and hipster cool.

A strikingly red painted footbridge leads out of the development and straight to Canning Town DLR station which is just two minutes from the Canary Wharf Crossrail and Jubilee Line interchange. This means that the City and the West End are within easy reach. A cable car line crosses the Thames to the O2 Arena and riverboat service.
