New Union Wharf sits in the heart of the Isle of Dogs one of East London’s most characterful areas. On the doorstep of London but with a unique dockside identity, it’s an area where old traditions remain alongside the rapid changes.

Walking beside the river or brunching in a local waterside brasserie before exploring the creative streets of nearby Shoreditch and Hackney or the bustle of Soho. Living here brings you the best of both worlds.

Nearby is Canary Wharf where you can choose from Sticks n Sushi for highly rated Japanese food or Gaucho for unbeatable steaks. Also making the best of the dockside setting are relaxed eateries like Jamie’s Italian and Wahaca, Nearer to home are the atmospheric old corners of Isle of Dogs where casual pubs and cafes sit on quiet Victorian streets.

So feel the breeze, enjoy the views and revel in the buzz of this lively waterside community where sophistication and relaxation go hand in hand.

The Isle of Dogs has been transformed from industrial wasteland to an astounding go to place.

Until recently, it was practically inaccessible, being surrounded by water, with the Thames on three sides and the former West India Dock along the fourth, virtually cutting it off from the rest of the Clasped inside the river’s deepest bend, it was practically inaccessible until recently but following the closure of the docks in the 1970s, the London Docklands Development Corporation was created to secure regeneration across the entire Docklands area. Boasting a skyline to rival New York’s – it now houses dozens of company headquarters, including HSBC, Barclays, JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley, plus 280 shops, bars, cafes and restaurants.
