The Isle of Dogs peninsula is the established area south of the towering Canary Wharf plazas. The ongoing build and development program sees the two areas merging as brand-new property meets contemporary and established homes. They are home to riverside and dockside developments of luxury apartments and townhouses. There are many gated developments along the River Thames, like Arnhem Wharf, the flats and townhouses in Old Bellgate Wharf, the stunning buildings forming The Oydessy, the 90s-built Cyclops Wharf, Fairview Homes' Ferguson Close, and Langbourne Close cater for many budgets. Impressive Maritime Quay and Burrells Wharf contrast modern living with warehouse conversions. Toward the bottom of the peninsula is revered Lockes Wharf, St Davids Square.
Luralda Wharf is adjacent to Island Gardens Park, and east are the apartments of Cumberland Mills and Caledonian Wharf. Off Manchester Road are the modern apartments on Millennium Drive and London Yard. Spindrift Avenue leads to dockside Mill Quay and Clippers Quay. Baltimore Wharf and the opulent Arena Tower near Crossharbour DLR.
Isle of Dogs Area Guide & Local Information: The Sunday Times highlighted Isle of Dogs in 2019 as a Top 10 Place to Live in London. The Isle of Dogs is ideally located in the London borough of Tower Hamlets, part of the Docklands region. In addition, the Isle of Dogs neighbours the financial, commercial and retail district of Canary Wharf One Canada Square.
The River Thames meanders around the Isle of Dogs in a horseshoe shape. Credits for the famous television show "EastEnders" use map images of the area's distinctive shape. It is instantly recognisable. With the area's proximity to Canary Wharf, diners, revellers, and shoppers can choose from many modern establishments surrounding One Canada Square.
If you prefer options with a more extended history, perhaps "The Gun" fits the bill or "The Old Fire Station," a bistro bar on Westferry Road. An obvious clue to its history is in the latter's name. Historically, the Isle of Dogs area was necessary for the London shipping trade. However, bombs destroyed many buildings during World War II, and the docks finally closed in the 1970s.
Nevertheless, the London Docklands Development Corporation boosted the prosperity of the Isle of Dogs during the 1980s. Substantial improvements in transport infrastructure, such as the arrival of the Jubilee Line and Docklands Light Railway, complemented the massive regeneration, attracting businesses and people.
Today, excellent transport links with Travelcard Zone 2 DLR Stations connect the Isle of Dogs to the rest of London and London City Airport in nearby Royal Docks. In addition, the Canary Wharf station connects with various DLR stations on the Isle of Do. They open access to the Jubilee Line and soon the Elizabeth Line as part of the Crossrail project, significantly reducing journey times.
Three notable green spaces are at the bottom of the Isle of Dogs: Mudchute Park and Farm, Millwall Park and Island Gardens. The latter is a small riverside park home to the entrance of the Greenwich Foot Tunnel, which provides pedestrianised access under the river and arises near Cutty Sark in Greenwich. Isle of Dogs is popular with those seeking river and dockside living with DLR connections.
In addition, the area's proximity to Canary Wharf and the businesses there have influenced many to buy property. When you need the best estate agents in the Isle of Dogs to provide an Isle of Dogs sales valuation, we are the agent you should call using 020 3941 9966.
