Isle of Dogs tops list of best places to live in London

The Isle of Dogs has been named as the most desirable place to live in London, in a list published in the Sunday Times. In its eulogy for the peninsula, the paper describes it as “a hidden, tranquil riverside retreat that feels worlds apart from the capital”, and notes that an average property in the area costs more than £100,000 less than the London average - £526,160, compared with £636,215 for the capital as a whole. Best address, it says, is Burrells Wharf Square, a series of converted Victorian dock buildings which have been converted into riverfront flats, some freehold, that sell for £325,000-£600,000. The Isle of Dogs was followed by Battersea and Belgravia, with Bermondsey and Blackheath filling out the top five.
