Shadwell: buy now and beat the boom

1st September 2017

The Standard identifies Shadwell as one of the few places left in London to have escaped gentrification, despite being in a prime location – making it a great candidate for brave buyers looking for a relative bargain. Although it shares an E1 postcode with Shoreditch and Spitalfields, and sits next to Wapping, the average price per square foot is £500-£550, which compares extremely favourably to the £1,000 per square foot commonly found in its neighbour to the south west. Although its post-war apartments lack the cachet of Wapping’s converted warehouses, it represents great value in lying just one DLR stop away from Bank and three from Canary Wharf - and is thought likely to attract the same prices as surrounding districts within five years.
