London’s “hottest new neighbourhood” announces addition of brand-new homes

Legal & General Affordable Homes is bringing forward a collection of “stunning” new Shared Ownership homes in Newham’s Royal Wharf, East London, to help buyers take their first step on the property ladder.

Launching at an event on August 5 to 6, East River Wharf will offer ultra-modern one, two and three-bedroom apartments in a brand-new community that offers the “best of London living”.

New residents will benefit from a range of amenities including a spa, fitness studio, residents’ gym, 24 hour concierge and security services. The Sky Lounge, a 16th floor space in the development to meet, collaborate and socialise while taking in views of the city skyline and the River Thames, is also accessible to residents.

Once the heart of UK’s shipping industry, Royal Docks, which includes Royal Wharf, is an exemplar of regeneration with an enviable commercial and cultural hub and a new waterfront.

The new community will see an overall investment of £8bn, including a £600m upgrade to the Docklands Light Railway, and a new pedestrian bridge connecting Silvertown on the south side, with Custom House Elizabeth Line station and ExCeL on the north.

Contemporary living and modern appliances feature in all the homes at East River Wharf. Each home has a private balcony and plenty of space to work from home. The open plan living areas are full of natural light and offer a straight-forward move and a blank canvas to “put your own stamp on”.

Surrounded by landscaped gardens and green spaces such as Lyle and Barrier Parks, the Royal Wharf offers a bustling high street and market square with independent shops, cafes and a local pub.

East River Wharf is a short walk to both West Silvertown DLR and Pontoon Docks stations which makes it perfect for connections. From the West Silvertown station, you can get to London City Airport in a mere 4 minutes, Canary Wharf in 16 minutes, Stratford in 17 minutes and Bank in 19 minutes.

Ben Denton, chief executive at Legal & General Affordable Homes, commented: “With Shared Ownership we want to help you get on the first rung of the property ladder and be proud of where you live.

“East River Wharf ticks all the boxes: a fantastic range of good quality new build homes, designed for modern life, in a part of town that is fizzing with energy, culture and entrepreneurship. It’s also incredibly important to us that we make the experience of buying a home as hassle free and easy as possible for anyone new to Shared Ownership.”
