Lock up and leave with style at new Festival Quarter
With Tower Hamlets the fourth most popular London borough for a second home , Wharf and City workers with an eye for an investment that doubles up as a weekly London pad need look no further than Bellway Homes’ New Festival Quarter in Poplar. The development, within walking distance of Canary Wharf and DLR stations benefits from a great location and a host of on-site facilities that would suit workers who need a “lock up and leave” London property.
New Festival Quarter has been extremely popular with purchasers and the final phase of apartments, launched this summer are selling well. With a mix of modern studio, one, two and three bedroom homes offering a variety of layouts, New Festival Quarter also benefits from a 24 hour concierge service, private residents’ gym, secure parking (at an additional cost) and extensive landscaping and city gardens.
In addition to the onsite facilities, New Festival Quarter boasts excellent travel connections: within a two minute walk from the development are two London Cycle Hire stations, while the DLR from nearby Langdon Park and All Saints offers quick journey times to Canary Wharf in 6 minutes, Stratford in just 7 and 20 minutes to Bank.
Commenting on the final phase of homes at the development, Peter Knights, Sales Director of Bellway Homes Thames Gateway said: “New Festival Quarter is ideal for purchasers who need a convenient journey to Canary Wharf or the City, but with added assurances when overseas or away from London. The facilities at the development mean an apartment is far more than just somewhere to stay mid-week; residents can enjoy their downtime at these attractive homes in Poplar.”
As part of the exciting regeneration to the local area, New Festival Quarter offers spectacular views of the London skyline, from Canary Wharf, the Olympic Stadium and across to the City to the Shard.
Two bedroom apartments make perfect lock up and leave properties for weekday stays. Designed for modern living, the apartment offers spacious open plan living areas where buyers can relax and unwind, with access to a private balcony. The master bedroom is spacious, boasting built in wardrobes, while the second bedroom could be a perfect home office.
Kitchens come complete with contemporary units and stainless steel fittings, electric fan oven, ceramic hob with stainless steel splash back and free standing washer/dryer, while the cool and modern bathrooms feature chrome fittings and Roca white sanitaryware.
New Festival Quarter is ideally placed for a range of amenities outside the development. Residents can take an early morning jog in Bartlett Park, which is just seconds from home. Also in easy reach is the Stratford City Westfield, combining a bright and airy shopping mall with places to stop for coffee or a bite to eat. For local entertainment, West India Quay’s Cineworld multiplex is only a mile away, whilst the O2 arena, playing host to a variety of international and British acts, restaurants, cinema and bowling is less than three miles away.
Within walking distance of Canary Wharf, New Festival Quarter is perfect for commuters. Transport connections are simple, with Langdon Park DLR station a short walk and All Saints and Poplar DLR also within walking distance, so journeys to both the City and the Wharf are quick and easy.
For travel further afield, City Airport is 20 minutes away by DLR, London Gatwick and Heathrow airports are less than an hour away, and all major roads heading out of the capital are easily accessible. In addition, Crossrail will open at Canary Wharf in 2018, offering fast east to west London travel for residents and commuters.
