Tower Hamlets: London's pied-à-terre hotpsot

Research recently published by Knight Frank identifies Tower Hamlets as one of the top five pied-à-terre hotspots in London. Purchasers at Silver Wharf, Limehouse Cut, can benefit from having a base in one of best located developments in London with fantastic connections to employment hubs such as Canary Wharf, the City and Stratford.

Silver Wharf is a collection of 91 one and two bedroom apartments situated on the banks of the Limehouse Cut. The landmark development consists of two buildings; Ingot Tower and Hallmark Court, which have been designed around a beautifully landscaped courtyard. Inspired by French architect Le Corbusier, all apartments in Hallmark Court have been designed so the reception area of each duplex apartment enjoys stunning views of the canal below.

The specification at Silver Wharf is something to be desired. Kitchens come equipped with contemporary style fitted cabinets in cream with dark walnut effect work surfaces. Integrated kitchen appliances come as standard including a multi function oven and ceramic hob, full height fridge freezer, washer / dryer and dishwasher. Contemporary style bathrooms come with an over bath thermostatic shower, large vanity mirror, chrome heated towel rail and continental tiling.

All apartments have the addition of outside space in the form of a balcony or terrace, video and fob entry systems for added security and TV/Sky points to the main bedroom. Secure, private underground parking is also available.

Limehouse is one of London’s hidden little gems, with numerous bars, pubs and restaurants most famous of them being Gordon Ramsey’s riverside gastropub The Narrow. There are a wide selection of delicatessens and specialist food shops to treat yourself, while a little stroll away is Canary Wharf, offering over 200 high street bands including Waitrose, Bang and Olufsen, Hobbs, Karen Millen, Monsoon and Reiss.

Canary Wharf is situated a 25 minute walk away or just six minutes on the DLR from nearby Langdon Park, which also offers services to Bank and Stratford in just 17 minutes. From Canary Wharf you can jump on the jubilee line for services to Baker Street, Bond Street, Waterloo and Westminster.
