Barratt London to launch Redwood Park SE16, Rotherhithe

Redwood Park is Barratt London’s new residential development of 161 studio, one, two and three-bedroom apartments on Downtown Road, Rotherhithe, SE16 6NP. Located on a tree-lined street on the corner of Downtown Road and Salter Road, Redwood Park is adjacent to Russia Dock Woodland and an ecological park and will have an onsite dental and doctors’ surgery. Prices start at £225,000 for a studio apartment, with first completions scheduled for June 2014.

Historically, the village of Rotherhithe has had a close relationship with the sea. Throughout history it was a favourite home for many seafarers and had a fine tradition of shipbuilding. Two local master mariners, Peter Hills and Robert Booth, founded a school to help the children of destitute sailors in 1613. Today, the Peter Hills School is helping to educate the present generation of Rotherhithe children. Unlike many parts of South London, Rotherhithe’s village origins are still visible, making for a strong local community spirit and a family environment that continues to this day.

Conveniently situated in Zone 2, residents at Redwood Park will benefit from their proximity to London’s financial and business destinations. Canada Water Underground station is a 9 minute walk or 3 minute bus ride from the development, providing excellent links to central London and beyond on the Jubilee line, including Canary Wharf in 2 minutes, Waterloo in 7 minutes and Piccadilly Circus in 17 minutes. Two Overground stations, Surrey Quays and Rotherhithe, are a 15 and 18 minute walk, respectively, while the Hilton Dockland Pier is a 13 minute walk away, where residents can catch a river taxi ride or Thames Clipper Riverbus to Canary Wharf Pier in around three minutes.

The introduction of Crossrail at Canary Wharf in 2018, Europe’s largest infrastructure project, linking East and West London, will make Rotherhithe an even more accessible part of London. Residents can look forward to living minutes away from Tower Bridge, Shakespearean performances at the Globe, the Tate Modern and St Paul’s Cathedral which can be reached in just two stops on the Jubilee line. Shoreditch, London’s creative hub, is a direct 8 minute journey on the London Overground offering the very best of trendy bars, rooftop patios, weekend markets and unique boutiques.
