Why Canning Town is a great choice for first time buyers

Around 10,000 homes are being built in Canning Town and Custom House, just north of the Royal Docks, attracting buyers from across the capital, lured by below-average property prices and the chance to be part of a East London community. The area also has tremendous transport links, with Canning Town on both the Jubilee line and the DLR, and Custom House on the Elizabeth line. A mix of studio, one, two and three-bedroom flats with their own outdoor space and access to impressive amenities are available at Mount Anvil's Queens Cross. Residents there enjoy the use of a Peloton-powered gym, indoor cycling and yoga room, a rooftop running track, a swimming pool, sauna, business lounge and cinema room. Prices begin at £451,000 for a studio apartment. Elsewhere, L&Q at Brunel Street Works offers shared ownership duplexes from £141,250 for a 25% share of the market value of £565,000. Not far away lies Goodluck Hope, a waterfront scheme of flats, lofts and three-bed townhouses. Residents get membership of the onsite 1595 Club, which has a gym, pool, and cinema. From £427,500 for a studio, while the final one-bed shared ownership flat is from £115,000 for 25% of £460,000. Finally, a single one-bedroom apartment is left at Orchard Wharf.
