A price for every pocket on the Isle of Dogs

A number of sky lofts are on the market at Canary Wharf Group’s One Park Drive, a tower overlooking the South Dock on the Isle of Dogs, neighbouring One Canada Wharf. Designed by Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron, the 483-apartment building’s sky lofts feature sliding glass walls and deep, curved terraces of up to 1,300 sq ft. Prices begin at £2.75m. However, one doesn’t need to be a City grandee to afford a property in and around Canary Wharf. New Union Wharf, which faces the Greenwich Peninsula across the Thames, offers 399 homes, on a waterside plot designed with families in mind, with  75,000sq ft of child-friendly play space and ground-floor flats with small private gardens grouped around safe courtyards. Developer L&Q has made 157 of the homes available for private sale, priced at £475,000 and above. The low-deposit Help to Buy scheme is also available.
