As we become fundamentally accustomed to not travelling far - or at all - in order to access what we need most - a sense of community, safety, health and place to feel 'well' in, this is where London's new '15-minute neighbourhood' developments come into their own. Where everything we need or desire - restaurants, shops, gyms or a green space - can be reached in 15 minutes or less.

Within striking distance of the waterfront, in the beating heart of London's exciting Royal Docks area of growth and regeneration, the 854-home Royal Eden Docks is spread across 8 buildings and blends architectural style with forward-thinking placemaking with residents' lifestyle and work needs.

Where Royal Eden Docks stands out however is through its green credentials. A quarter of the site - the equivalent of 20 tennis courts or approximately 5,000m2, is covered by landscaped gardens and bookended by two private courtyards and the River Thames beyond, making this an exceptionally good looking place to live from every angle.

Along with panoramic waterfront and garden views, nature and the wellness feature heavily on the agenda with unlimited recreational possibilities and healthy lifestyles encouraged and facilitated via a spectacular rooftop running track and 'reflexology walkway' accessible to all residents.

An urban village wooing a modern resident, the development is the result of a collaboration between Mount Anvil and ExCeL London, as well as having been masterminded by Skidmore, Owing & Merrill - the stellar architects that know a thing or two about making showpiece development.

The next phase "The Ellipse" is launching on 10th September, 2021.

Royal Eden Docks presents an excellent investment opportunity. A true transformation and regeneration story, the opportunity area of Newham is emerging as a high-growth new district for jobs, business, living and culture in London with over £8 billion in investment set to enhance the wider area.

The next two decades will see new homes, schools, public spaces and waterfront shops, restaurants and other businesses being built.

With the opening of Crossrail (2022) serving the new Custom House station come excellent transport links to and from Canary Wharf, ExCel, The City and beyond. Investment in nearby London City Airport will ensure global connectivity.
