Surrey Quays is an exciting new residential area on the southern banks of the Thames.  Once very much an industrial area, over the last few years this riverside location has been regenerated by developers and now offers superb modern homes which are popular with investors and renters alike.   Surrey Quays estate agent Benham & Reeves is based in the centre of this thriving residential area, at popular residential development Marine Wharf.  

Its Zone 2 location makes Surrey Quays popular with professionals who commute into central London, Canary Wharf or the City.  Historically, the area was known for its dockyards but today the SE16 and SE8 postcodes are mainly residential and the area is dotted with riverside walks, cycle paths, nature reserves and parks.  An attractive option for the daily commute is the Thames Clipper service which offers perhaps the best commute to the office you’ll find anywhere!  Canada Water underground station is nearby, also providing a short commute to the City and the West End.  With renters now moving further East where they can find homes at more affordable prices, Surrey Quays is popular with young professionals in particular, offering a good mix of affordability, high spec homes, amenities and a good commute.  And with rental demand strong, investors have been keen to buy rental properties which offer good yields and strong growth potential.

Which is your favourite part of London? London is the city I’ve called home for the past 10 years and there are many lovely areas, but one of my favourites is Southbank.
