Living on the Isle Of Dogs has been transformed by the arrival of the Elizabeth Line in ways that will continue to unfold over the coming years.

The new station puts places such as Liverpool Street, Farringdon, Tottenham Court Road, Oxford Street and Soho within less than 15 minutes.
That, of course, is just going west. The emerging might of Royal Docks is only three direct minutes away, with Woolwich and Abbey Wood similarly relocated in the mind.
That means, for residents of E14, a day spent at cultural powerhouse Woolwich Works might easily be topped off by a night in the West End or dinner in the City. And that’s before we even get to the less well-publicised benefits of the line such as its exits for the Barbican at Farringdon or direct connection to north-bound rail services at Moorgate. It’s likely Londoners will continue to discover unexpected routes and delights as the months roll by.
Now that the trains are running to their final timetable, it makes more sense than ever for buyers to look at properties near the Liz Line’s stations.
