A WATERSIDE HAVEN: LEASIDE LOCK

Positioned next to the serene River Lea, homes at Leaside Lock offer a unique opportunity to live close to the waterfront in the heart of central London. Providing tranquil riverside living, residents can enjoy sunrise strolls along the river, over bridges and under willow trees, as colourful narrowboats drift across the water

Leaside Lock is a new waterside development situated in the heart of east London, Bromley-by-Bow. A major placemaking project from Guinness Homes, Leaside Lock will ultimately deliver 965 studios, one, two and three bedroom homes – with a mix of shared ownership and outright sale homes available.

Not only will residents get to enjoy spectacular scenery around the neighbouring river, but they can also benefit from potential mental and physical health improvements as well. There are several well-documented benefits to living near water, including decreased stress levels and enhanced levels of happiness and wellbeing in day-to-day life. The development’s unique riverside location is also the ideal place for buyers to reconnect with nature, offering a moment of calm in the buzz of the city. Only a short walk away from Leaside Lock is a network of footpaths and cycle paths, as well as Limehouse Cut, the oldest canal in the capital, which offers a range of outdoor physical activities, including kayaking, cycling and wildlife spotting.

Recent buyer, Anna, discusses how impressed she is with Leaside Lock’s waterside location, “It was very important to me to live near water. I like to go on walks and runs, and it’s much nicer to follow a river or canal path. It was something I really got used to in Richmond, so that was a big thing for me when looking at Leaside Lock – it’s right on the River Lea.”

Leaside Lock is perfectly positioned to explore and make the most of living in east London. There is never a dull moment, with Stratford and the Olympic Park just a short walk away, and the world-famous London Aquatics Centre and Westfield Stratford City nearby.

Community is at the heart of the development’s design, encouraging residents to meet their neighbours and fully immerse themselves in the new neighbourhood. The broad range of on-site amenities, including plans for a health and fitness studio, a cafe, co-working space, and convenience store, will also help to foster a friendly and welcoming community feel. leasidelock.com
