London City Island is a new Island neighbourhood on one of the best-connected sites in the capital.
Bridging the business might of neighbouring Canary Wharf and the cultural energy of east London, London City Island is one of the most important waterside projects London has seen in recent years – an award-winning place that has received accolades from multiple prestigious awards bodies.
Taking inspiration from metropolitan islands across the world, the project combines bold architecture and pioneering landscape design to create a spectacular landmark in riverside living, comprising 1,706 well-designed new apartments and townhouses.
“…a huge contribution not only to this area, but to the cultural vibrancy of the UK and particularly London.” Lord Sebastian Coe
The Island is also home to myriad creative talent, giving performers and artists a platform on which to share their work. Highlights include English National Ballet – its new headquarters at London City Island aptly named the Mulryan Centre for Dance, in recognition of the support given to date by Sean Mulryan, Chairman and Group Chief Executive of Ballymore, and his wife Bernardine. There is a range of cafes, shops, restaurants and cultural facilities, and a new footbridge bringing Jubilee and DLR transport links a short stroll away.
More than just a place to live, City Island is a bona fide destination. Devised to complement the neighbouring business district with a high-end residential and cultural offering, this unique location is at the vanguard of a new wave of investment that is building on and expanding the great success story of Canary Wharf.
