Royal Wharf to host London’s longest pier

London’s longest pier is currently under construction in Silvertown, just to the east of Lyle Park – an elegant wooden construction that, when complete by the end of the year, will connect the 3,385-home Royal Wharf neighbourhood to the Thames Clipper river bus route. The new pier, which replaces a long-derelict jetty, also serves as a public space and viewing platform, extending into the Thames from a riverside promenade; it is the latest element in the regeneration of the wider Royal Docks area, alongside a market square, gardens, parkland, and retail amenities. Duplexes with up to four bedrooms have been launched there by developer Ballymore Oxley, each with its own front door facing onto a communal courtyard. Prices start from £725,000.
