GENERAL OVERVIEW
This luxury modern flat (built in Sept 20) is located in the prestigious City Island development in E14, which won the award for best new place to live in London this year and is a self contained village development.
This 3 double bedroom flat is facing west looking at Canary Wharf and has the best views on the entire exclusive development over the river towards Canary Wharf and also the London O2.
The development is very secure on its own semi Island site about 5 acres accessed by a private 100m footbridge across the river to the tube at Canning Town (full lift access from the tube to the flat if stairs are a issue) at one end which is 30 seconds walk from the flat, and by a gated road entrance for vehicles at the other (the only vehicles coming onto the site are deliveries and resident going to their allocated parking bay in the underground car park). The site has no roads on it and is a basically a pedestrian area so is very quiet and safe. There are various landscaped gardens and grass areas on the island.
Canning Town has the Jubilee Underground Line and Docklands Light Railway (DLR) as well as a large bus station. The Emirates Cable Car is also just 3 minutes away. Of course all of London is easily accessible.

Onsite there is 24 hour security, grocery shop (sainsburys), restaurant, cocktail bar, pub, 2 x cafe's, pool tables , "fooze" ball tables, 2 art galleries and the English National Ballet which offers tours of the facility where you can see the dancers rehearsing from the open viewing gallery. There is also a residents lounge much the same as a hotel lobby/lounge with free Wifi and is great place to relax and unwind after a long day.
The restaurant and bar is open till 11pm. The cafe serves breakfast and is open from 8am.
Although there is a leisure complex on the development which includes swimming pool, gym, sauna, steam room, loungers and onsite personal trainers, this is NOT accessible for short term guests staying less than 3 months, as access is only for owner/occupier residents or tenants/guests who have a 3 month agreement. The fobs I provide to gain entrance to the flat do not work for the leisure complex which is also staffed at the entrance and uses faces recognition software to check people entering are registered guests over 3 months. These are the development rules not mine and there are no exceptions what so ever and attempted entry will breach you stay agreement.
I have mentioned the leisure complex and added pictures of it for guests looking for longer stays of 3 + months, if you are looking for a stay of less than this please ignore the leisure facilities section and pictures.
There is also a concierge service but again this is only accessible to owner/occupiers or guests on a 3 month + agreement as above.
