Christmas comes early for potential purchasers in Poplar
With just five weeks to Christmas , leading developer Genesis helped house hunters get into the Christmas spirit, with a day of festive fun at its Jessops Building in Poplar, E14, on Saturday 14th November. Lots of visitors turned out to enjoy the festivities, which included a luxury chocolate tasting led by London-based company, Artisan Du Chocolat.
In a traditional scene complete with a Christmas tree and festive decorations, the show home was adorned with plenty of sparkle, showing buyers how to turn their city apartment into one full of festive cheer in the Christmas period. Guests were treated to a divine chocolate tasting whilst being shown the makings of sweet treats by master chocolatiers.
The development, located within the iconic New Providence Wharf area of London’s Docklands, offers a collection of modern apartments available to buy through shared ownership, a scheme which helps people get a foot on the housing ladder.
