Cutting-edge: Limehouse canal flats along Docklands towpath popular with City cyclists and walk-to-walk commuters

Limehouse Cut, London’s oldest canal, runs close to Canary Wharf and Stratford town centre before heading north-east to Hackney Marshes and Walthamstow.

Its towpath is a gift for cyclists and walk or jog-to-work commuters, providing a fast, flat, unhazardous route through Docklands.

Phoenix has 103 apartments across four buildings linked by podium gardens.

Frontline apartments have frameless glass balconies offering views across the water or over adjacent Bartlett Park.

Two-bedroom flats cost from £517,000.
