Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Situated in the Surrey Quays area of London, surrounded by the Thames river and green spaces, you’ll find this modern-built apartment. Attractions nearby include the Surrey Quays Shopping Centre. If you’re here on business, Canary Wharf is nearby, while leisure travellers can explore Greenwich Park and much more. Back at this apartment, there’s plenty of natural light thanks to the French doors. One thing to note – access to the kitchen is quite narrow, due to the dining table which seats four.
