Docklands Tops London’s First-Time Buyer Hotspots

According to Rightmove, Docklands has taken the top spot as the most in-demand location for first-time buyers in London this year, with average asking prices for homes with two bedrooms or fewer sitting around £503,607. With great transport connections, close proximity to Canary Wharf, and major regeneration underway, it’s no surprise that more buyers are turning their attention east.

The Silverton sits right at the heart of this growth. Located in the heart of the Royal Docks, the final selection of stylish, energy-efficient one and two-bedroom apartments now remain - all just a short walk from both the DLR and the Elizabeth Line. With property values in the area expected to rise by 16.4% over the next four years, these never been a better time to invest.

Regeneration Driving Opportunity in the Royal Docks

The Royal Docks is currently undergoing one of London’s most ambitious regeneration programmes, with over £2 billion in investment being poured into the area. The goal is to transform this historic dockside setting into a vibrant destination for living, working, and socialising - while staying true to its rich heritage.

Plans are already taking shape, including the revitalisation of Silvertown and the restoration of the iconic Millennium Mills building, which is set to become a new business and leisure hub. Key infrastructure projects like the Royal Docks Corridor and the proposed Silvertown pedestrian bridge are also set to improve connectivity throughout the waterside precincts.

But regeneration here isn’t just about buildings, it’s also about creating a sense of place. Through cultural programmes, local events, and new public spaces, the Royal Docks is fast becoming a lively, welcoming neighbourhood with a real sense of community.
