East London

Extensive regeneration has placed this region back on the global map.

Home to London’s world-famous East End, East London manages to retain its old-school Cockney charm whilst delivering a decidedly 21st century experience to its residents.

Diverse. Multicultural.

A great deal of investment has been placed into East London in recent years, particularly in the wake of the 2012 London Olympics, which injected new life and vigour into Stratford, Hackney Wick and the surrounding areas.

 

East London’s gentrification has attracted a plethora of young professionals looking to enjoy a fast-paced lifestyle within walking distance of some of the city’s most iconic landmarks and attractions.

Amenities

The Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park is at the heart of the so-called ‘new’ East London, and knits together the London Stadium, the Lee Valley VeloPark, the hugely popular Westfields shopping centre, and many other venues and outlets into one impressive multiplex.

 

Other nearby boroughs offer insights into ‘traditional’ London living; residents here can skip between the hustle and bustle of Bethnal Green Road to the hipster vibes of Shoreditch and its famed Brick Lane in a matter of minutes.

 

The expanded overground and underground networks make light work of getting around East London and reaching neighbouring areas, while the Emirates Air Line runs regular cable cars between the Greenwich Peninsula and the Royal Docks.
