British Land’s £2bn Canada Water masterplan

1st December 2017

The Evening Standard examines the transformation of Canada Water, just a single Tube stop from Canary Wharf. Transport for London is working on plans for a new pedestrian bridge across the Thames linking the Isle of Dogs with Rotherhithe, to go with the existing underground and riverbus services, in anticipation of an influx of new residents; the first major development to come is British Land’s 46-acre site located between South Park and Russia Dock Woodland, with 650 homes to be completed in the first phase. If planning permission is granted, work will begin in 2019, with the first residents moving in 2021. For those who can’t wait that long, London Square Canada Water, which overlooks a central courtyard garden and enjoys splendid views of Canary Wharf, offers two-bedroom flats for up to £1.2m, while similar properties can be found further inland at L&Q’s Quebec Quarter, where two-bedroom properties start from £675,000.
