With two tube lines running through the station (District and Hammersmith & City), the DLR at Devons Road and numerous bus stops nearby, residents are always just a short journey away from all that London has to offer. Take the Hammersmith & City Line to King’s Cross for a spot of shopping at Coal Drops Yard or take in the sights at the Tower of London via the District Line, both in under 25 minutes.* Come the arrival of summer, watch the tennis champions serve an ace at Wimbledon, sip on a refreshing drink by the Thames at Embankment or stroll through St James’ Park, all reached directly on the District Line from Bromley-by-Bow.
Accessible for first time buyers, Guinness Homes has recently launched 33 two bedroom shared ownership apartments at Leaside Lock, offering an affordable route on to the property ladder. The major new development will ultimately comprise 965 homes and is already a new focal point for the area, created with modern convenience in mind.
While offering fantastic transport links to the rest of London, the neighbourhood has been carefully designed so that residents also have everything right on their doorstep. Creating a lively new communityfocused neighbourhood, there is planned to be a broad range of unbeatable amenities on site, including a health and fitness studio, a cafe, a gym, a convenience store and coworking space.
Set on the banks of the River Lea, Leaside Lock has a plethora of local shops, restaurants and bars on offer in Bow. A short walk away is Roman Road, a historic street lined with independent cafes, boutiques and bakeries, where three times a week a 150-year-old market brings fashion stalls, fresh produce and delicious street food to both locals and visitors.
Leaside Lock’s local pub, The Galvanisers Union, offers an impressive beer menu, locally renowned roast beef and weekly comedy nights, while further afield, Hackney Wick, Here East and Stratford provide a multitude of independent establishments and chain restaurants.
Apartments at Leaside Lock are finished to a high specification throughout, featuring contemporary open-plan kitchens, complete with integrated Bosch appliances. Bathrooms and en suites are finished with sleek sanitaryware and underfloor electric heating is fitted in all apartments. Recognising the importance of outdoor space in London, private balconies offer spectacular London views, and this space allows residents to create an extension of their living space.
As well as outdoor space within the community, Leaside Lock is close to some of London’s best parks. Victoria Park is close by and is ideal for outdoor sports with its running trails, tennis courts and sports ground. Also nearby, Three Mills Island hosts local events and has plenty of green space to enjoy, including an outdoor children’s play area.
On top of green spaces, Leaside Lock has an unrivalled waterside location, with the development set on the banks of the River Lea. A rarity in London, residents are within easy reach of east London’s bustling canal network. Stratford and the Olympic Park can be reached by walking east along the towpath where you’ll find stretches of outdoor space alongside the world-famous London Aquatics Centre and Westfield Stratford. Alternatively, hop on your bike to travel along the Cycle Superhighway or use the towpath where you can make it all the way along the water’s edge to Canary Wharf. leasidelock.com
