Following in the footsteps of nearby Canary Wharf, another ambitious urban regeneration is underway at London's Royal Docks. Multibillion-pound investment from China's ABP and others is transforming this historic riverside area into a new financial center in the east of the UK capital, supported by new infrastructure, public amenities and residential neighborhoods.

At the heart of the docks is Royal Albert Wharf, a new village that will offer 127 contemporary homes adjacent to the new business district at Royal Albert Dock. Excellent transport connections including the new Crossrail Elizabeth Line put Canary Wharf, London City Airport and the wider city just minutes away, without the expensive price tag of Central London property.

Entering the overseas property market this month is Gallions Point, a collection of modern apartments at Royal Albert Wharf by London developer Telford Homes. Group Sales and Marketing Director David Campbell explains: “Our vision for Gallions Point is to create an inspiring, community led neighborhood. Strong early investment has already transformed the area with much more still to come, making it an increasingly desirable place to live and work.”

As well as homes, Royal Albert Wharf will include retail and leisure amenities to serve the new community. Gallions Reach Shopping Park will have over 35 stores and restaurants, while lovers of the outdoors and watersports can make the most of the waterside location with canoeing, rowing, sailing and other activities at the London Watersports Centre.

Well-connected by the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) and forthcoming Crossrail, some of London's biggest shopping and entertainment venues are within easy reach from Gallions Reach station, including One Canada Square at Canary Wharf, the O2 Arena and ExCeL London exhibition center.
