Canada Water Area Guide
Largely developed since the arrival of the Jubilee Line in 1999, Canada Water is fast becoming a fashionable place to live, particularly amongst commuters who benefit from the station being a major transport hub
Where are we?
Canada Water sits exactly half way between Tower Bridge and Canary Wharf on the south side of the river and almost central on the Rotherhithe Peninsular. Ambiguously amorphous it straddles the Albion Chanel linking the lakes of Canada and Surrey Waters
Why should I buy here
The Canada Water Masterplan will create more shops, businesses and homes over the coming years, along with a new “town square” and High Street.
What can I buy here?
The majority of properties surrounding the station are recently built serviced apartments built by Barratts, Taylor Wimpey or similar national developers. Some developments from the 1980s/90s complement the makeup. A few streets of freehold houses exist further up the canal but with the Masterplan bringing similar leasehold apartments into the area, freeholds will become a rarer commodity
Where can I go out?
The Printworks is a warehouse style venue which has been preserved to create a stunning, industrial environment for a dynamic array of events. For a quieter atmosphere the Canada Water café or Leadbelly’s are notable cocktail bars.
How about going out for a meal
Hawker House is an expansive, split levelled warehouse space housing a cluster of street food stall and bars. If that’s not your thing, the peninsular is dotted with quality gastro pubs or Canary Wharf is a quick hop on the tube.
