Poplar Riverside is redefining urban living in East London, offering a vibrant riverside community with world-class facilities, extensive green spaces, and exceptional connectivity. Located on the banks of the River Lea, this landmark development by St William, part of the Berkeley Group, is set to deliver over 2,800 new homes, a 2.5-acre public park, and a thriving commercial hub.
Positioned in Zone 2/3, Poplar Riverside provides seamless access to Canary Wharf, the City, and beyond. Residents can reach Canary Wharf in just 9 minutes, while Stratford is only 16 minutes away by bicycle. The nearby East India DLR Station connects you directly to key destinations across London, including London City Airport in under 10 minutes.
At the heart of the community is the Riverside Club, an exclusive 16,000 sq ft facility designed by Bergman Interiors. Residents enjoy a 20-metre pool, spa, gym, private cinema, co-working spaces, and a vibrant events programme. Shelduck Square, a landscaped public square, adds to the community feel with spaces for performances, outdoor dining, and social gatherings.
The development also features over 90,000 sq ft of retail and commercial space, including a new Sainsbury’s supermarket, cafés, restaurants, and a riverside pub. With more than 50% of the site dedicated to green space, residents benefit from riverside walkways, adventure playgrounds, and landscaped gardens.
For investors, Poplar Riverside presents a unique opportunity. Located in an emerging regeneration hotspot, it offers up to 26% more space than the Zone 2 average and rental yields of up to 5.9%. The local population is projected to grow by 41% over the next decade, supporting strong rental demand and long-term capital growth. With East London outperforming the wider London market in property price increases, Poplar Riverside is an attractive choice for both investors and homebuyers seeking value and lifestyle.
Poplar Riverside combines riverside tranquillity, cutting-edge design, and exceptional amenities, making it one of East London’s most exciting new destinations.
