Properties in Wapping
Wapping features characterful warehouse conversions and modern glass fronted riverside apartments. Popular warehouse developments include Oliver’s Wharf and Great Jubilee Wharf providing fantastic riverside views. More modern developments can be found around the glamorous St Katherine Dock.
Popular terrace houses are positioned a few streets back from the Thames in areas such as Portland Square, and make ideal family homes. London Docks will be developed over the next six years, creating 1,800 new homes. This is likely to create more demand for property in the area and push houses prices up, making Wapping a great place to invest.
