Docklands (Surrey Quays)

A tranquil area of smart homes amidst marinas and canals with wildlife reserves, in a former industrial collection of dockyards. Pockets of Victorian streets, gastro pubs and scattered waterside restaurants. There are delightful walks, running and cycle rides to tempt you along the river, as well as various water sports such as kayaking, dinghy sailing and the increasingly popular paddle boarding.

Surrey Quays shopping centre has a selection of chain stores, or head to the nearby Canary Wharf shopping centre with a wide range of shops, boutiques and eateries. 

The markets at Greenwich are in easy reach or enjoy the boutiques and independent shops of Bermondsey Street, a short bus journey away with its weekend food market popular with foodies and first rate cafes and restaurants.

Close to the City and Canary Wharf, there are rail links close by, or commuters can opt to commute by boat with two Thames Clipper docking points.
