Fraser Bond, London’s trusted authority in luxury real estate and investment, presents an actionable guide to acquiring buy‑to‑let apartments at London City Island—E14’s notable riverside enclave in Canning Town. With strong rental demand, regeneration-led upside, and outstanding connectivity, City Island continues to stand out for investors focused on yield and long-term growth.
Competitive rental yields: Newham (covering Stratford & Canning Town) achieves rental yields of approximately 5.5%, outperforming London average (~4.3%).
Regeneration and recognition: An award-winning development by EcoWorld Ballymore, anchored by institutions like the English National Ballet.
Delivery of lifestyle: 24/7 concierge, spa, gym, screening room, landscaped gardens—qualities that elevate tenant retention and rent levels.

East London rental performance: Amid overall decline in landlord activity in London, areas like Newham continue attracting capital due to location and value dynamics.
