Marine Wharf, Surrey Quays, SE16

Waterside views do not come any more picture-perfect than from apartments to rent at the Marine Wharf property development. At Surrey Quays, the Thames broadens into an expansive mirror, showcasing the Docklands skyline and the Greenwich peninsula. Indeed, nearby Greenwich is a local neighbourhood rich in history and with plenty to see, taste and experience. Strolling through the royal park before lunching in an 18th century pub by the famous Cutty Sark sailing ship, is just one way of spending quality time here. Renting an apartment in Marine Wharf is both convenient and secure with an on-site supermarket, a riverside walk and landscaped gardens all lending a sense of community to the development.

Venturing further afield is a simple matter of taking advantage of the numerous transport links that this part of London has access to. Thames Clipper river boats operate a regular service connecting the Cutty Sark to the City, Westminster and beyond and are a relatively peaceful way to view the capital. Surrey Quays station has made the transition from obscure Tube stop to main Overground link with relative ease. From here, passengers can not only head north into East London, but also venture in the other direction as far as Clapham Junction. This line also connects with the super-efficient DLR shuttle which opens up numerous transport options in and around Canary Wharf. The Jubilee line stop at Canada Water means that London Bridge, Waterloo and Stratford are minutes away. From corporate individuals to working families, Marine Wharf provides a picturesque lifestyle that is close to the commercial and cultural heart of the capital.
