Located in an area with very high crime and high deprivation
Set high on the seventh floor, this one-bedroom apartment delivers bright, open-plan living with a large private terrace and far-reaching city views. The modern interior and wooden flooring create an easy, low-maintenance home for a first-time buyer seeking a compact, well-connected base in central London.
Practical positives include lift access, a long lease (991 years) and a usable 536 sq ft layout that feels larger thanks to the open-plan design and balcony. Transport links are strong: Whitechapel’s Elizabeth line is about 0.5 miles away and several Underground and overground stations sit within easy reach, opening up the City and Canary Wharf.
Buyers should note material negatives honestly. The property sits in an area with very high crime rates and very high deprivation scores — factors that affect local amenity perception and resale risk. Service charge is circa £2,646 per year and ground rent £250; heating is on a community scheme rather than individual gas. These running costs and the surrounding context are important to factor into affordability and investment plans.
Overall, this modern one-bedroom is best suited to a buyer prioritising central location, transport access and an outdoor terrace, and who is comfortable with the higher service costs and the neighbourhood’s challenges.
