On the horizon is a pedestrian and cycle bridge &#8211; one of 13 new river crossings planned by Transport for London. The bridge will be a convenient conduit for bike-riding and \u2018walk-to-work\u2019 commuters, boosting Rotherhithe\u2019s attraction for professionals.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to this, Rotherhithe is served by three stations. Rotherhithe and Surrey Quays are London Overground stations linking Rotherhithe with the South and East London. The area is also served by Canada Water Underground station in central Rotherhithe. Canada Water station is now an important transport interchange, being just one stop away from the financial district of Canary Wharf. It connects the London Overground and the Jubilee line of the London Underground. <\/p>\n<p>This station is at the centre of a major regeneration project, with rapid construction of new flats, our property is only 9 minutes away from Canada Water Station and 6 minutes from Rotherhithe Overground Station.<\/p>\n<div class=\"title-paragraph\">Strong rental prospects<\/div>\n<p>Nearby Canada Water is effectively a new town centre for Southwark, with improved public space, a splendid new library and smart apartment schemes that have created 4,000 new homes. There are also several regeneration projects underway. Property giant British Land is transforming 40 acres of land (5.5m sq ft of new development) &#8211; an area that includes the outdated Surrey Quays Shopping Centre and a redundant printworks. Sellar Group, responsible for the famous \u2018Shard\u2019 building (just a short walk away), has unveiled plans for 1,046 homes ranging from studio apartments to townhouses, alongside restaurants, shops, cinema, a public square and dock basin.<\/p>\n<p>Rotherhithe is also located conveniently between the financial district of Canary Wharf, and the northern end of the borough. Canary Wharf employs 105,000 people while the northern end of borough includes the More London and London Bridge City developments &#8211; home to several major professional service firms that employ a total of 20,000 people. Notable businesses include PricewaterhouseCoopers, Norton Rose, Ernst &#038; Young, Lawrence Graham and Actis.<\/p>\n<p>This high number of skilled jobs available in this area, combined with increased private investment in Rotherhithe makes a compelling case for increasing rental demand.<\/p>\n<div class=\"title-paragraph\">Attractive to young families<\/div>\n<p>Rotherhithe is a great place for young families who work in the City. The area provides all the necessary amenities, including Surrey Quays Shopping Centre, a 309,000 square feet retail space, with 40 stores, numerous restaurants, cinema and other attractions. Southwark Park Sports Centre and the Surrey Docks Watersports Centre also provide great facilities for exercising.<\/p>\n<p>The area hosts Southwark Park with beautiful King\u2019s Stairs Gardens, Russia Dock Woodland, Stave Hill Ecology Park, Lavender Pond Nature Park and Surrey Docks City Farm. If this wasn\u2019t enough, the picturesque Greenwich Park is just 2.5 miles away.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center; margin: auto; width: 100%;\">\n<div style=\"text-align: center; margin: 10px auto;\"><a style=\"font-size: 15px; font-family: 'Lato' Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; text-align: center; color: #ffffff; text-decoration: none; background-color: #44d371; border-top: 12px solid #44d371; border-bottom: 12px solid #44d371; border-left: 24px solid #44d371; border-right: 24px solid #44d371; border-radius: 4px; -webkit-border-radius: 4px; -moz-border-radius: 4px; display: inline-block; letter-spacing: 1px;\" href=\"https:\/\/propertypartner.co\/s#\/grid-view\">Explore investment opportunities<\/a><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<!-- Begin MailChimp Signup Form -->\n<link href=\"\/\/cdn-images.mailchimp.com\/embedcode\/slim-10_7.css\" rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text\/css\">\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t#mc_embed_signup{background:#fff; clear:left; font:14px Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; }\n\t\/* Add your own MailChimp form style overrides in your site stylesheet or in this style block.\n\t   We recommend moving this block and the preceding CSS link to the HEAD of your HTML file. *\/\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"mc_embed_signup\">\n<form action=\"https:\/\/propertypartner.us9.list-manage.com\/subscribe\/post?u=bb49cbb22f66a692d5bb9ad74&amp;id=7f3b9b3eb1\" method=\"post\" id=\"mc-embedded-subscribe-form\" name=\"mc-embedded-subscribe-form\" class=\"validate\" target=\"_blank\" novalidate>\n<div id=\"mc_embed_signup_scroll\">\n\t<label for=\"mce-EMAIL\">Subscribe to our monthly newsletter to access property market updates, Property Partner related news, and to hear about new investment opportunities.<\/label><br \/>\n\t<input type=\"email\" value=\"\" name=\"EMAIL\" class=\"email\" id=\"mce-EMAIL\" placeholder=\"email address\" required><br \/>\n    <!-- real people should not fill this in and expect good things - do not remove this or risk form bot signups--><\/p>\n<div style=\"position: absolute; left: -5000px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><input type=\"text\" name=\"b_bb49cbb22f66a692d5bb9ad74_7f3b9b3eb1\" tabindex=\"-1\" value=\"\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"clear\"><input type=\"submit\" value=\"Subscribe\" name=\"subscribe\" id=\"mc-embedded-subscribe\" class=\"button\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--End mc_embed_signup--><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The investment case for Rotherhithe, London We believe that there is a strong investment case for Rotherhithe, in the London borough of Southwark.
