Summary - Celestial House, 153 Cordelia Street, Poplar, London, E14 E14 6GH
Private balcony with Canary Wharf skyline views
A bright two-bedroom seventh-floor apartment with a private balcony framing Canary Wharf’s skyline — ideal for first-time buyers seeking commuter convenience and long-term potential. The open-plan living area and compact modern kitchen make efficient use of 655 sq ft, while built-in wardrobes and hallway storage keep clutter at bay. Constructed after 2012, the home benefits from double glazing and an EPC B rating.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (approx. 236 years), fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus immediate access to Langdon Park DLR (50m) for quick journeys to Canary Wharf, the City and Stratford. Chrisp Street regeneration promises more local amenities over time, and several highly rated primary and secondary schools are close by — a genuine plus for young families.
Buyers should note the material costs and communal arrangements: an annual service charge around £2,025 and ground rent about £500. Heating is via a community scheme rather than an independent boiler. The building has an EWS1 form with an A2 rating (expiry 04/04/2030). The property sits in a locally deprived area, and the single bathroom and seventh-floor location may not suit everyone.
Overall, this well-presented apartment offers strong location and transport advantages, long lease security and attractive west-London commuting links. It suits first-time purchasers or investors seeking a modern, low-flood-risk flat with city views, provided they factor communal costs and the building’s A2 EWS1 status into their decision.
