Step into London Dock by St George, a new neighbourhood situated in the heart of the capital in the very spot where this city has begun. Amidst the iconic Tower Bridge and The City, awaits a concealed village ready to be explored or embraced as your new residence.
But before delving into the charms of this area, allow me to unveil what your future home at London Dock may look like.
London Dock offers a selection of Manhattan, one, two and three-bedroom luxury apartments with high specifications and open plan living.
Envision starting each day in your beautifully designed apartment with iconic views of the City of London. Your mornings seamlessly transition into a wellness haven at The Club, the hotel-style resident's facilities: work out in a state-of-the-art gym, play a game of squash, or practice mindfulness in the yoga studio, which offers a serene escape. A stunning swimming pool invites you for a refreshing leisurely dip, and the spa promises a holistic escape for the ultimate pampering experience. The treatment room offers a sanctuary for rejuvenation, and the sauna and steam room provides a haven of tranquillity. Later in the day, choose a game of golf or spend an evening in a private resident's cinema. The development also benefits from 24-hour concierge service.
Residents enjoy the serenity of the luxurious meticulously landscaped private gardens and enchanting water features that flow throughout the development grounds, with the central dancing fountain in Gauging Square. These secluded sanctuaries within London Dock serve not only as picturesque retreats but as escapes from the hustle and bustle of daily life in the harmonious blend of lush greenery and the gentle murmur of cascading water.
Wapping, where London Dock is nestled, is an area that boasts a rich maritime history and houses iconic landmarks. As you walk the cobbled streets and explore the hidden corners, you'll encounter The Prospect of Whitby, one of London's oldest pubs. Standing proudly since the 16th century, this historic pub has welcomed sailors, artists, and locals throughout the centuries, offering a glimpse into the city's maritime past.
Continue your journey to St Katharine Docks, another oasis of tranquillity amidst the urban hustle. Originally constructed in the 12th century and later redeveloped in the 19th century, these docks have witnessed the comings and goings of vessels from around the world. Today, St Katharine Docks is a picturesque marina, surrounded by cafes and restaurants.
Here are just a few spots that you shouldn’t miss while exploring London Dock.
Fantastic spot to start your day at. Brunch menu is delicious, my choice was Turkish eggs and it was so GOOD! It came with a slice of charcoal sourdough and I can’t recommend it more.
Lovely handmade sourdough sandwiches, bread and bakes for take away from a cute van in Arrival Square at London Dock.
Amazing new Thai restaurant by Rosa’s founder Saipin Moore offering authentic recipes not adapted to Western tastes like this Sen Su Kho Thai that I tried. You simply have to try it!
Champagne Route is one of the best champagne bars in London! If you love bubbles, this is your spot to indulge - perhaps with a side of caviar?
London Dock is an excellent destination for a day out, especially during this festive holiday season. With its blend of historic and contemporary, the area is a gem for curious Londoners. Wander through the charming cobblestone streets and explore centuries of history and iconic landmarks, from the timeless Tower Bridge to the maritime heritage of St Katharine Docks. Indulge in the warmth of cafes and boutique shops, and perhaps savour a cosy winter drink against the backdrop of London Dock's unique charm.
