The E16 postcode is a rising star in East London, centred around the Royal Docks, Canning Town, North Woolwich, and parts of Silvertown and Custom House. Once a hub for London’s shipping industry, E16 is now undergoing a dramatic transformation into a modern, mixed-use waterfront district — offering exceptional growth potential, improved transport links, and a growing stock of high-spec residential developments.
Fraser Bond provides tailored property solutions in E16 — from sourcing off-plan apartments to advising on buy-to-let yields and development opportunities.
