Ready for summer: waterfront flats for sale in east London by urban beach and the world's largest triathlon

A Paris-style urban beach is a good reason to visit Royal Docks this summer — and at the same time view swish new waterfront show flats.

The beach at Royal Victoria Dock, near the Emirates Air Line cable car to Greenwich Peninsula on the opposite bank of the Thames, is the focus of watersports, street food festivals and film screenings.

As well as the world’s largest triathlon, the F1 Powerboat London Grand Prix is taking place here.

Less energetic types can chill out on a beach bean bag.

Royal Docks West is a scheme of 79 flats, part of a dockside hub that includes the ExCeL exhibition centre, floating hotels, eateries and bars.

From £590,000 for a two-bedroom flat and £805,000 for a three-bedroom apartment, some with a double-aspect corner terrace.
