Silvertown
Silvertown and the surrounding docklands neighbourhoods have transport sorted, whichever part you choose. The DLR runs right through the area, the Elizabeth line is close at hand in Custom House, and riverside paths and cycleways make getting about easy. Canary Wharf and central London are within easy reach from pretty much anywhere here, which explains why the area draws both commuters and the growing number of people working from home.
Schools are a genuine strength across the board. You'll find Outstanding primaries in Canning Town South, Custom House and Royal Victoria, with Royal Albert and Royal Victoria also offering well-regarded options just over their boundaries. Healthcare follows the same pattern, with good GP coverage, nearby dentists and a hospital within reach of the riverside wards. Add in strong air quality throughout and a food and drink scene that's grown up alongside the newer developments, especially around Royal Albert and Royal Victoria, and daily life here is well catered for.
House prices vary noticeably depending on where you look. Canning Town South and Custom House offer more affordable entry points, while Royal Victoria's newer riverside flats average around £494,000, reflecting the area's newer developments. Royal Albert sits somewhere in between, with flats and terraces more accessible than its riverside neighbour. Crime has been falling steadily across all four neighbourhoods, giving the whole area a sense of steady improvement, making now a good time to consider a move here while prices still have room to grow.
