Introduction
Immediately east of Canary Wharf, the Royal Docks is emerging as a new district for business and culture in London. Over £8bn in investment is flowing into the area over the next 20 years. Improvements to transport, streets and open spaces are underway, preparing for an estimated 24% population growth in the wider area.¹ At the heart of the Royal Docks we’re creating a new place to call home. Globally renowned architects, Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, are the studio behind 35 Hudson Yards in New York, Dubai’s Burj Khalifa, the China World Trade Centre in Beijing — and now Royal Eden Docks.
These homes have wellbeing designed in. Light-filled, thoughtfully laid out, with landscaped garden space for all — 5,000 sq m of it in total. Two private, leafy courtyards. Green rooftops. 17 fitness and relaxation amenities. All less than 100 metres from the water’s edge.
It’s just a three-minute walk to Custom House station, where Crossrail services are set to begin in 2020. That gets you to Canary Wharf in three minutes and The City in 10.
A new district for London designed around health and wellbeing, with landscaped green space at its heart.
This is Royal Eden Docks.

A British Education
30 primary schools, 15 secondary schools and three colleges with an ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted rating, less than three miles from Royal Eden Docks.2
British education is internationally renowned and remains at the forefront of educational innovation and creativity. Revered the world over, good British schools are as diverse and distinct as the children within them and provide the most influential examples of what a good school can and should be.
Whether state, independent, boarding, day, preparatory or senior — British schools prepare children for life and open doors to the most prestigious universities and career opportunities worldwide. Each school is unique, yet displays the character that is the hallmark of a well-educated child: self-confident with a breadth of interests and qualifications.
