What Makes London City Island Stand Out?

Positioned on the Leamouth Peninsula and connected to Canning Town Station via a signature red footbridge, London City Island is one of London’s most compelling new neighbourhoods. Developed by EcoWorld Ballymore with designs by Glenn Howells Architects, it blends modern architecture with creative community touches—from the English National Ballet to the arebyte gallery.
