On site restaurant, grocery shop, cafe, bar, delicatessen, art galleries, and the English National Ballet - Search on the internet "London City Island" for full virtual tours of the development so you can get a real view of what's it ’s like - (I am not allowed to put the precise domai address here as VRBO does not allow external links)
GENERAL OVERVIEW
This luxury modern flat (built in Sept 20) is located in the prestigious City Island development in E14, which won the award for best new place to live in London this year and is a self contained village development. This 3 double bedroom flat is facing west looking at Canary Wharf and has the best views on the entire exclusive development over the river towards Canary Wharf and also the London O2. The development is very secure on its own semi Island site about 5 acres accessed by a private 100m footbridge across the river to the tube at Canning Town (full lift access from the tube to the flat if stairs are a issue) at one end which is 30 seconds walk from the flat, and by a gated road entrance for vehicles at the other (the only vehicles coming onto the site are deliveries and resident going to their allocated parking bay in the underground car park). The site has no roads on it and is a basically a pedestrian area so is very quiet and safe. There are various landscaped gardens and grass areas on the island.
Canning Town has the Jubilee Underground Line and Docklands Light Railway (DLR) as well as a large bus station. The Emirates Cable Car is also just 3 minutes away. Of course all of London is easily accessible.
Canary Wharf - 3 mins Jubilee Line Bank -9 Mins DLR Central- 12 Mins DLR/Jubilee West End - 16 Mins DLR/Jubilee Excel Centre - 3 mins DLR Greenwich O2- 3 mins Jubilee/DLR Stratford International - 4 mins Jubilee/ DLR City Airport- 6 mins DLR
Onsite there is 24 hour security, grocery shop (sainsburys), restaurant, cocktail bar, pub, 2 x cafe's, pool tables , "fooze" ball tables, 2 art galleries and the English National Ballet which offers tours of the facility where you can see the dancers rehearsing from the open viewing gallery. There is also a residents lounge much the same as a hotel lobby/lounge with free Wifi and is great place to relax and unwind after a long day. The restaurant and bar is open till 11pm. The cafe serves breakfast and is open from 8am.
Although there is a leisure complex on the development which includes swimming pool, gym, sauna, steam room, loungers and onsite personal trainers, this is NOT accessible for short term guests staying less than 3 months, as access is only for owner/occupier residents or tenants/guests who have a 3 month agreement. The fobs I provide to gain entrance to the flat do not work for the leisure complex which is also staffed at the entrance and uses faces recognition software to check people entering are registered guests over 3 months. These are the development rules not mine and there are no exceptions what so ever and attempted entry will breach you stay agreement.
I have mentioned the leisure complex and added pictures of it for guests looking for longer stays of 3 + months, if you are looking for a stay of less than this please ignore the leisure facilities section and pictures.
There is also a concierge service but again this is only accessible to owner/occupiers or guests on a 3 month + agreement as above.

There was a cafe and pub although we didn’t use them. Cannon Town tube station was close by and had lifts for those less able.

Andrew is a great host. He met us at the door and gave us a tour of all of the amenities just to make sure we would be comfortable. Overall, the flat itself was super comfortable for 6 people. However, there were some spots of dirt on the walls and such that seemed like they coud have been cleaned. And the furmiture wasn't the most comfortable. My husband slept on the couch because the bed sloped and he rolled out of it. I made Andrew aware of the problem and he was willing to come out that day to see and fix the problem.The other tricky part was how you were supposed to leave the island. There were a lot of stairs (and luckily, elevators). And yet, the location made it so super easy to get to the Tube, the DLR, or bus station. We had a great time exploring London and we were always happy to come back to this flat.

Wonderful flat East of London City Center
The flat is on London City Island, which is a 30-40 minute taxi ride from London City Center and Westminster. If the Tube will be your primary transportation and you do not have mobility issues, then the location is great because there is direct access to the Tube via a short walking bridge and lift to the Canning Town tube station. There is also a Sainsbury’s local grocery store right downstairs that was perfect for us to buy food to make breakfast and dinner at home if needed. Our only complaint was that the washer/dryer combo did not work well. I even downloaded the operating instructions, followed the instructions, and could never get a basic program to wash and dry super small loads (1 t shirt and 2-3 pairs of underwear) during a 3 hour cycle. It always took 2 cycles. Quite frustrating. Andrew was very responsive to our questions and check in was a breeze because of his help.

Family Time Over Christmas/New Year's Holidays
Our family of six included grandparents, parents and two children, with an age range from 10-75. . The three bedroom, two bath and complete kitchen provided a perfect accommodation for our family. This flat was in the relatively new London City island development and has easy access to the Canning Town Station serviced by both the Jubilee underground and the DLR. A Sainsbury grocer and a Le Barre coffee shop are a short walk from the flat. Our flat did not include a coffee maker, only a kettle, so the coffee shops received many visits during our stay. There is a restaurant on site which we did not visit. I had worked in the London Bridge area for a number of years and many dining options are close by via the Jubilee tube. This riverside unit offered great views of London and was especially convenient for watching the New Year's fireworks. The property manager Andrew was an excellent communicator and very responsive to questions prior to our arrival.

Fabulous!
We had a fantastic two night stay at this apartment which is in a great location with easy access to DLR & Jubilee lines. Great views over Canary Wharf - particularly when lit up at night and also the river.
The apartment is light, airy and perfectly equipped. We were a group of 6 but it easily accommodates 8 with the use of the sofa bed.
The host - Andrew, could not have been more accommodating or helpful.
We would thoroughly recommend this as a place to stay for a family or group of friends and intend to return.

Lovely and clean flat in a good location.
We enjoyed our stay at this flat. It is right at an Underground station, and has a coffee shop and small grocery in the complex. The apartment is very clean and spacious. The negative would be the linens and washing machine. It is a tiny washer/dryer combo that takes 4-5 hours per small cycle. There were no flat sheets on any bed and just 2 bath towels and 2 hand towels in the apartment. Overall, it is clean and lovely.

Perfect for a family visiting London
Our family of four adults and two preteens were traveling abroad together for the first time. We chose this particular property because of location, bedroom arrangements and ease of communication with the host.
We were not disappointed.
The spacious apartment had interesting views from its “wall of glass” windows, comfortable furniture, really comfortable beds, easy access to grocery stores, pubs, and the tube. The location at the Canning Town station was the star. Lifts helped move up and down easily, ability to change lines was easy. We visited sites that we originally labeled as only possibilities.
The apartment had everything we needed, the location was terrific and our host really knows how to welcome his guests. Bravo Andrew!!
We enjoyed our stay in this apartment in Canning Town. We liked taking a break from the inner city during the evenings. The river area allowed cool air to come into the apartment. During the day the apartment gets a lot of sun so keeping the shades down helps. We had some warm temperatures during our stay. We were close to the underground at Canning Station which is on the Julbilee line. The apartment was well equipped with all that we needed. Andrew was always on top of communication. Thanks for a great stay Andrew.
