Reliance Wharf N1

January 26 2012, written by christian

On the borders of Hoxton and De Beauvoir Town sits the stunning new canal-side development of Reliance Wharf; an exclusive and exciting construction of modern, contemporary one, two and three bedroom apartments built to an excellent specification.

Reliance Wharf is situated on the Regents Canal where waterside cafes, shops, bars, galleries and creative work spaces combine to breathe new life into an area with a rich industrial past. First proposed by Thomas Homer in 1802, the Regent’s Canal was built during the early 19^th century and provided a link from the Paddington arm of the Grand Union Canal, just north-west of the Paddington Basin in west London, to the Limehouse Basin and the River Thames in east London, to bring imports into the Midlands and to move coal and building materials for a rapidly growing industrial London. Today, the canal is a venue for more leisurely activity and the towpath has become a popular route for cyclists, walkers and runners. The towpaths and local walkways offer unparalleled, traffic-free access eastward to the Olympic village, and the river Thames, and westward towards Islington, Camden, Regent’s Park and Little Venice.

Hackney is fast developing into a haven for City professionals, entrepreneurs, and those working in the creative industries who want to experience the most of modern London living; a convenient central location with character and a unique and diverse cultural landscape

The historical and administrative heart of Hackney is known as Hackney Central and includes Hackney Town Hall Square, which is currently being developed as a new ‘creative quarter’. Surrounding the public square itself is the old Ocean music venue, which is being refurbished as a four screen cinema complex, a new Library, and Technology & Learning Centre. In south of the borough, down the Kingsland Road as it becomes Shoreditch High Street, turn right into Hoxton and its world famous Hoxton Square, a hub of the contemporary arts scene, where you can seek out inspiration from household name exhibitors such as Gilbert and George and Sam Taylor-Wood at White Cube or emerging talents across the square at 20 before coming up with your big idea at one of the many bars and restaurants that surround the area.

New transport links on the East London line extension can be accessed from the new station at nearby Haggerston, offering a smooth, quick service into destinations including Highbury & Islington and Canada Water, as well connecting with both the London Overground network, offering access to Stratford, Crystal Palace, Kensington, Shepherd’s Bush and, from late 2012 when the London orbital route is completed, Clapham High Street. Liverpool Street, national rail and London Underground station is within walking distance, or just a short bus journey away, to the south offering access to the rest of London, East Anglia, the rest of the United Kingdom and further afield. Being this well connected makes choosing what you do with your spare time both challenging and rewarding. Hackney, Islington and Shoreditch on your doorstep or something further afield? An evening with the Jaguar Shoes Arts Collective or the short journey into the West End? A Sunday afternoon browsing Spitalfields market or shopping at the Stratford City Westfield centre? White Cube or Tate Modern?
