CITY WORKERS CONQUER
THE COMMUTE AT NEW
UNION WHARF, E14
According to recent research by Yorkshire Building Society, 60
per cent of potential first-time homeowners place commuting
distance to work as one of their top priorities when it comes to
buying a home of their own. With an average travelling time of
one hour and 21 minutes each day, Londoners have the longest
commuting time in the UK. For city workers keen to conquer their
daily commute, L&Q’s New Union Wharf development on the Isle
of Dogs, E16, is only one mile from Canary Wharf, providing a
hassle-free journey to work, whether it be by foot or bike.
In a prime riverside location, opposite the O2 Arena, New
Union Wharf comprises a contemporary collection of one, two
and three-bedroom apartments for private sale. Ideally located
for travel around London, the development is a short walk to
Crossharbour station on the DLR line and also within a 30-minute
walk of Canary Wharf. In addition, for those who prefer to travel
on two wheels, New Union Wharf offers secure cycle storage for
all residents. Commuters travelling to Europe and beyond for
work are also well placed, with London City Airport, less than four
miles away from the development.
Gavin Stewart, Director of Sales and Customer Services for L&Q’s
East region comments: “Reduced commuting times is clearly a
priority for London’s house hunters, allowing them more time
to spend doing the things they love. Our New Union Wharf
development is only a 20-minute walk from Canary Wharf,
making this the ideal location for city workers to call home. In
addition, residents will benefit from riverside living, perfect for
unwinding after a busy day.”
All the apartments at New Union Wharf have been thoughtfully
designed with the modern-day purchaser in mind; from storage
space to the windows which fill the rooms with natural light. Each
home offers a generous private outdoor space in the form of a
balcony, winter garden or terrace and residents will also benefit
from plenty of communal open green space and gardens. Open
plan kitchens and living areas create bright focal points, ideal
for entertaining guests and are contemporary in style featuring
integrated appliances including electric oven, hob, fridge freezer
and microwave. A free-standing washer and dryer is also installed
in the hall’s utility cupboard. Bathrooms are sleek, featuring light
grey porcelain tiled flooring and a tiled bath and shower wall.
New Union Wharf is well placed to enjoy the very best of London
living. Nearby Canary Wharf will provide residents with a range
of amenities, shops, restaurants, bars and leisure facilities to
enjoy on their doorstep. For the ultimate shopping experience,
Stratford Westfield City can be accessed on the DLR and is one
of the largest urban shopping centres in Europe, providing over
250 stores. Just across the river, residents will enjoy historic
Greenwich with its plethora of cafes, shops, restaurants and
culture. Music fans will also be well placed with the O2 Arena
nearby, which is also host to a cinema.
Located in Zone 2, New Union Wharf benefits from superb travel
connections across London, with Canary Wharf just over a mile
away. DLR Crossharbour station is less than half a mile away
and South Quay is also only a short walk from the development,
connecting to Bank station in only 16 minutes and Liverpool
Street in under 25 minutes. For jetsetters and residents who
work internationally, London City Airport is also only a short
journey on the DLR. The introduction of Crossrail will further
improve links in and around the capital.
