East London proving attractive to homebuyers

Bellway Homes’ development at So-Stepney is located in an area of East London which is becoming increasingly attractive for those looking to buy a home in the capital, according to the latest London Housing Fundamentals Index from the Centre for Economics and Business Research.

The combination of excellent transport links, high quality local facilities and quality of life are all contributing to making areas such as Stratford, Bow and Stepney Green popular with homebuyers.

So-Stepney is a collection of stylish one, two & three bedroom apartments. Its prime location close to The Royal London Hospital, Queen Mary University, whose Whitechapel campus encompasses Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry and the Blizard Institute of Cell and Molecular Science, make it an ideal location for medical staff.

Peter Knights, Sales Director at Bellway Homes, Thames Gateway comments: “So-Stepney is ideally situated for travel across London with superb transport links which include the London underground, overground rail services, the Docklands Light Railway and bus services. There are plenty of leisure activities on offer from walks along Canary Wharf Riverside, to relaxing in one of the many local bars or restaurants.”

The local area is steeped in history with St Dunstan's Church dating back to the 10th century. St Dunstan's has a long association with the sea, being responsible for registration of British maritime births, marriages and deaths until the 19th century.

Stepney is well served for public transport by the London underground stations at Mile End, Stepney Green and Whitechapel, as well as London overground services and the local bus network.
