Surrey Docks is a very old community and area in the city of London but, the area has undergone a major transformation over the last 30 years and is now mistakingly referred to by its signature shopping centre, Surrey Quays. A place we are sure you’ll spend no shortage of time stocking your new apartment as it’s the closest major shopping centre!

If shopping isn’t your first thought when moving into the area, you’ll find much to appreciate from the stunning dockland and waterside views, as well as some marvellous green spaces such as the Stave Hill Ecological Park. The Greenland dockside is a particularly good spot to wander around if you’re looking for a bite to eat or a place to park up and have a drink.

Speaking of the dockside, you really would be missing out if you didn’t take a water taxi over to Canary Wharf just across the water. You can, of course, get there by taking the tube from Canada Water or Surrey Quays but, we think travelling by water in this part of London in particular, is way more fun!
