Price is a key consideration for buyers.
It often determines what properties people look at and also where those homes are.
That can mean compromising – moving to a less desirable area or sacrificing a few things on the wish list.
Smart buyers in London, however, will always be on the lookout for places to invest in terms of what’s coming locally in the future and, crucially, what the transport is like.
The capital’s rail and road links are its lifeblood, delivering prospects of prosperity and growth that translate into property value.
Hyde New Homes is set to unveil a collection of shared ownership apartments at Stories Wharf in North Woolwich on August 15, 2025.
lower prices further east
Those familiar with east and south-east London will know prices drop dramatically in line with distance from Canary Wharf, making Royal Docks fertile territory for those seeking newly built properties.
For contrast, Rightmove says the average price of a flat sold in the Canary Wharf area over the last 12 months was £606,072.
In E16 that figure drops to £477,805 – £128,267 less.
While E14 has enjoyed more than 30 years of progressive regeneration, Royal Docks is earlier on in its journey, but that means buyers have a chance to get in early.
The area has already undergone significant change with developments such as Britannia Village, Royal Wharf and Riverscape transforming large swathes of land.
Lendlease and The Crown Estate have more in the pipeline with their Silvertown scheme and, alongside the likes of Royal Albert Wharf, attention is now turning to other parts of the area. Billions will be spent and much is set to come.
homes at Stories Wharf
This is crucial information for those considering a property at Stories Wharf, which will benefit from this influx of new residents, facilities and businesses in the years to come.
The development is located about 10 minutes’ walk from King George V DLR station.
This offers direct connections to Bank in about 25 minutes and Poplar station for Canary Wharf in around 15.
However what was once the penultimate stop on a line that simply dipped under the Thames has gained greater significance since the arrival of Crossrail.
Stories Wharf is located just one stop and a short walk from the Elizabeth Line, meaning it benefits significantly from rapid services through Canary Wharf and into central London including the likes of Liverpool Street, Bond Street and Soho.
Residents can also easily access south-east London via the Woolwich Ferry, almost on the development’s doorstep.
Then there’s the accommodation itself. Stories Wharf offers one, two and three-bedroom apartments as well as triplexes.
Located on the corner of Store Road and Pier Road, the properties feature private balconies, terraces or patios, some with river views.
The scheme also includes a landscaped podium garden and roof terraces overlooking the river to the south as well as communal solar panels to boost the homes’ energy efficiency.
a fast-evolving neighbourhood
“Stories Wharf delivers on every level – quality, affordability, connectivity, energy efficiency – but what truly sets it apart is its location at the heart of the Royal Docks regeneration area,” said Minnie Dando, head of marketing and communications at Hyde New Homes.
“This vibrant and fast-evolving neighbourhood is transforming into one of London’s most exciting destinations to live and work, making these homes an exceptional opportunity for buyers looking to invest in the future of East London.
“Hyde has for years been trusted as the developer of choice for those seeking high-quality homes that challenge local price expectations.
“Our apartments at Stories Wharf give this commitment new life in this impressive new destination in the capital.”
Royal Docks’ regeneration is well underway with residents already able to benefit from a wide selection of hospitality venues in the area.
These include the likes of Cafe Spice Namaste by celebrated chef Cyrus Todiwala and his wife Pervin, The Well Bean Coffee Co, The Windjammer pub and Little Hudson Cafe in Royal Wharf.
The wider area also features City Hall, the IFS Cloud Cable Car, Excel and London City Airport, connecting Docklands to the wider world.
