Size and location both really matter when it comes to property.
Square footage, while frequently listed as part of a dwelling’s description, is perhaps often not given the prominence it deserves. Look at many of the luxury developments marketing one-bedroom homes today on the Isle Of Dogs and you’ll do well to find one that’s larger than 635sq ft with many coming in at 600sq ft or less.
True, new-builds often have great facilities, but they can seldom compete with established properties on size when it comes to proximity to Canary Wharf.
Take Circus Apartments, for example. Located just off Westferry Circus, this collection of 45 rental apartments is a few minutes’ walk from all the central amenities of Canary Wharf.
That puts dozens of bars and restaurants on the menu alongside fitness clubs, three shopping malls, two supermarkets and an abundance of cafés.
Managed by Residential Land since 2020, it offers one and two-bedroom homes close to the Thames and within walking distance of Wapping and Limehouse.
Closest to Westferry DLR for access to the Wharf, the City and Greenwich, the scheme also benefits from the estate’s main connections to the Jubilee line and the Elizabeth Line.
As for the properties themselves, currently available one-beds extend to some 695sq ft while two beds are nearly 947sq ft. These come fully decorated and furnished.
The apartments feature openplan living spaces with dedicated
dining areas and floor-to-ceiling windows. Many also benefit from outdoor space with views over the Thames, the City or Canary Wharf.
The properties also come with fully fitted kitchens that include under cabinet lighting, full-sized fridge-freezers, electric ovens with gas hobs, dishwashers and washer dryers. Tenants can also look forward to fibre broadband connections and 55” LG Smart TVs in reception rooms. Bedrooms also come with smart TVs as well as king size beds. Air conditioning is provided in reception rooms and bedrooms.
“Circus Apartments is a vibrant and buzzing place to live right in the heart of Canary Wharf,” said Samera Hafeez, part of Residential Land’s on-site team of property managers.
“I love working here and meeting all the residents, it’s a really positive community with people from all walks of life.”
Circus Apartments residents benefit from a wealth of facilities including a cinema room, a day room, a lounge and a private terrace. They also get access to private gated gardens laid out along the Thames and parking. There’s also an on-site receptionist, a caretaker and 24-hour monitored security.
One-beds start at £660 per week, while two-beds are from £935 per week. Properties are available with flexible rental terms. Call 020 7408 5155, email lettings@residentialland.com or go to residentialland.com for more information
