Ideal city homes for jet setters at new Providence Wharf
In 2015, searches for flights and holidays jumped 68% in the first quarter, according to British Airways, with similar levels expected in 2016, as city workers are longing for an escape from the winter blues.

Genesis’ Jessops Building at New Providence Wharf in Poplar, E14 is an ideal jet-setters pad, with London City Airport just six stops away on the DLR.
Also easily accessible from 2018 will be Heathrow, as Canary Wharf’s new Crossrail station, just over half a mile from Jessops Building, will offer direct trains to the international airport in just 39 minutes. For those who prefer train travel, daily Eurostar services from St Pancras International are easily reachable via Stratford, with journeys to Paris, Brussels and Lille.
Ideal for London’s workforce, a range of public transport options are on offer for those who need to get around the capital, including East India DLR station, from where trains take residents to Bank in 13 minutes and Canary Wharf in six.
