One thing that seems very important to mention is that there is a community centre on our street that was particularly helpful during the pandemic as they distributed free food parcels to the neighbourhood but they also offer childcare, clubs and trips. There are two parks, a children’s park within the estate (accessible to anyone) and a dog park a minute’s walk further. There is a local shop a minute away, a few pubs and a local sainsbury and tesco and a cinema 10 minutes walk away.
Transport
As I already mentioned, there many train stations within walking distance, making a significant amount of journeys permissable, such as Tower Gateway, Tower Hill, Aldgate, Aldgate East and larger stations such as Fenchurch and Liverpool St, all of which are generally reliable. The traffic can be pretty bad sometimes, particularly from 4-6, but some days you can get lucky. I’d say it’s more an area meant to people who make use of public transport but it is also not impossible to have a car, as we have one. The traffic is not too bad depending on your direction, for example the Highway is pretty busy, the direction of Southwark, Limehouse, but smaller roads such as Leman St, Alie St, aren’t too bad. Buses include 15, 100 and others going in pretty much every direction except towards Limehouse/Docklands. The buses do not come to often however and I would suggest using train.
Community
The only issue with my street would be parking availability is pretty bad, traffic noise occasionally but genuinely not so often. The street is mainly filled with families. Bin collection is pretty good too, with loads of bins around.
Amenities
There are many things in the local area, exciting places to go that are a 5-15 minute walk. Tower bridge and the Tower of London, St Katherine’s Docks with restaurants that have the view of boats and water (particularly beautiful at night) for example Zizzi’s and Kilikiya. Just across the bridge there is The Ivy, Vapianos and more new restaurants to come in that vicinity. Not far from important stations such as Fenchurch, Liverpool St and very close to stations such as Tower Gateway, Tower Hill, Aldgate and Aldgate East. Not to mention Central London is a short drive away.
wapping lane is the most beautiful part of wapping
This area is very aesthetic you will feel as if you’re in a part of america! The area is suitiable for kids to elderly to students everyone’s welcome !!
Transport
In E1w alone there are at least 5-8 Santander bike docks to travel and several bus tops along with a overground called wapping which is all very easy to access. Preferably I enjoy walking around this area as you can take in more and greet the welcoming people from this area

21 wapping lane is the most beautiful part of wapping as my estate stands out with its beautiful , complex and rich design , I love sitting in my garden and taking in the peace and quiet with the beautiful water fountains around to enjoy especially during lockdown makes it all the better
Amenities
My area feels like a spectate city to London!! A great range of amenities and views in my area alone it is just beautiful, only a minute walk down and You’ll be presented with several dinners and corner shops with a local post office all very local with great and friendly people around , many places to eat with family and friends and several pubs to have a good night out. Many open spaces to take in the fresh air and view like wapping park or hermitage park with many riversides to enjoy such a brilliant water view with boats and at night especially where the London bridge and shard lights make it very aesthetic. One amenity I would add to such a lovely area like this is A barber shop!!! A real niche in the market.
Not feeling safe is the worst part of living in this area
Not feeling safe is the worst part of living in this area. Needs a complete renovation.
Transport
Bit far away from the tube station but is doable. Transport links have a good service and it’s always easy to get back no matter where you’re travelling from at what time of day.
Community
Close to a McDonalds, close to a hospital. Tesco express is useful for grabbing what you need. Bin collections regular.
Amenities
Good food options but not much else to do. Not many bars around or places with fun activities. Needs more open space as currently feels very cramped.
Shadwell is connected via DLR, which is only one stop away from central London (Bank station)
