Summary - Flat 801 The Galley, 3, Basin Approach E16 2QW
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Top-floor penthouse with panoramic River Thames and O2 views
Top-floor penthouse in The Galley delivers expansive river and O2 views from a wraparound terrace and a second private balcony. The open-plan reception and integrated kitchen sit behind floor-to-ceiling windows, creating a bright living space ideal for entertaining or working from home. Two double bedrooms, one with an en-suite, plus a versatile third room suit a home office, nursery, or walk-in wardrobe.
Residents benefit from 24-hour concierge and secure entry, excellent mobile and fast broadband, and direct access to Gallions Reach DLR and nearby retail and riverside amenities. The apartment is well maintained and set within a modern 2007+ development, with double glazing and electric underfloor heating throughout.
Important costs and considerations are clear: a higher-than-average service charge (£5,000 pa), substantial ground rent (£813 pa), and quite expensive council tax. The local area scores as deprived with above-average crime levels, which buyers should weigh against the connectivity and lifestyle benefits. The long lease (175 years) and very low flood risk are practical positives.
This property will appeal to professionals seeking dockside living with strong transport links and striking views, plus buyers wanting an easy-to-manage, low-occupancy home. It also offers investor interest due to size and location, but factor ongoing service charges and local area indicators into affordability calculations.
