The latest phase of the redevelopment of the old London Docks is now on the property market, with apartments in the new 18-storey Saffron Wharf tower up for grabs. Architects Patel Taylor have swept away old cobwebs with new shops, bars and restaurants, 1,800 homes and public spaces just a stone's throw from the Tower of London. “We want to retain much of the rich maritime and trading heritage of this neighbourhood”, developer St George City's managing director Marcus Blake said. “This includes workspace in the old Pennington Street Warehouse”, which has been refurbished into workshops with its historic brick walls and archways. Prices at the site start from £730,000. |
