Galliard Homes Limited

A New Phase of Regeneration for Surrey Quays

Area
Marine Wharf East, Surrey Quays, Galliard Homes

Surrey Quays, situated within the London Borough of Southwark, has become one of the most desirable residential locations in the Docklands, combining tranquil, nautical living with city luxury and convenience.

Already boasting a thriving town centre, including Surrey Quays Shopping Centre with more than 40 high-street favourite retail stores, an Odeon cinema, bowling alley, sports complex, plus a fantastic variety of restaurants and maritime pubs, this Rotherhithe district is attracting occupiers from across the capital looking for a unique residential experience with exceptional amenities.

The leisure park is Southwark’s premier dining and entertainment venue, less than 10 minutes’ walk from Canada Water station and only three minutes’ from Surrey Quays Overground station (both within Zone 2). One stop away from Canada Water via the Jubilee line, residents will have unending opportunities to indulge in designer shopping and fine dining experiences at Canary Wharf

The Birth of Surrey Quays

The name ‘Surrey Quays’ was born nearly 30 years ago during the area’s first wave of regeneration when the shopping centre opened, distinguishing it from its past title, ‘Surrey Commercial Docks’. Since then it has attracted a number of new residents, particularly London’s young professionals looking for a home close to the office.

The Future

Now set for its second phase of regeneration, Surrey Quays’ reputation is set to skyrocket even further in the coming years, as a £2 billion project - dubbed the ‘Canada Water Master Plan’ - will introduce a number of new town centre facilities over the next decade.

The 46-acre site, composed of the former Harmsworth Quays printworks and the recently-acquired Surrey Quays Shopping Centre, will be transformed into a distinctive mixed-used, community-centred leisure hub, comprising more than 5.5 million sq. ft. of office, retail, entertainment and educational space.

This is fantastic timing, as Canary Wharf’s Crossrail introduction in 2021 will further advance the area’s connectivity and landmark status. Those looking for a home in the surrounding areas of the City and Canary Wharf will look to Surrey Quays for its semi-urban environment, away from the hustle and bustle of the nearby business districts.

Watch Your Investment Grow

Galliard Homes prides itself on recognising the potential of London’s best up-and-coming areas, and having started out developing in the Docklands nearly 25 years ago, Galliard has seen the area flourish with new areas emerging as popular Thameside hotspots.

In 1993, investors flocked to Papermill Wharf in Limehouse, E14 - a former riverside warehouse converted into stylish apartments situated just moments from Canary Wharf - to snap up their share of the revitalised Docklands. Their investment increased tenfold, as buyers who spent £50,000 have seen their properties now being valued at £500,000.

No doubt as the implementation of Crossrail looms closer and the Surrey Quays regeneration scheme draws to a close, those who will have made their prior investments within the area should expect to see huge increases in the market value of their property, making this an investment hotspot to watch in the coming years.
