Leaside Lock, Bromley by Bow, E3
All homes in the first phase of Guinness Homes’ flagship development, Leaside Lock, have now been reserved. Hugely popular amongst first time buyers, almost 300 studio, one-, two- and three- bedroom apartments were sold in Phase One at Leaside Lock, with the highly anticipated launch of the next stage of this major regeneration project planned for 2026.
Now complete, Leaside Lock Phase One has delivered 965 homes for Bromley-by-Bow, as well as a range of exceptional amenities including chic roof terraces, social lounges and a brand-new onsite gym*. Creating a dramatic new gateway to the East End, Phase One of the development is made up of five cohesive buildings – three red brick buildings, reflecting the area’s industrial heritage, while two pale green pre-cast concrete towers mirror the mossy tones of the River Lea tideline. The next phase will comprise over 180 homes to the prime Zone 2 location – a mix of Shared Ownership and Private Sale apartments.
London and South East Sales Manager at Guinness Homes, Hellyn Fairbrother, comments: “We’re delighted that all the homes in Phase One at Leaside Lock have now been reserved. There is already a thriving community on-site here, and we’re looking forward to watching the neighbourhood grow as our final few residents from this phase move in, and new properties come to market in the coming years. We plan to launch the next phase in 2026, bringing a premium collection of Shared Ownership and Private Sale homes to this exciting pocket of east London, and we expect to see even greater levels of interest in the riverside apartments to come.”
Leaside Lock benefits from superb transport connections across the capital. With Bromley-by-Bow Zone 2 Underground Station just a three-minute walk away, connecting to central London and out towards Stratford on the District Line and Hammersmith and City Line, buyers are well-placed for commuting into Soho, The City and Canary Wharf, as well as exploring the capital at weekends.
Nearby road links offer direct journeys to London City Airport and out of the capital, while several local shopping and cultural destinations can be reached on foot or bicycle along the river towpath.
Set on the banks of the River Lea and close to accessible parts of the capital’s extensive canal network, Leaside Lock is just short walk away from Roman Road. This historic street is lined with independent cafés, boutiques and bakeries, and three times a week hosts its 150-year-old market with many stalls for fashion, fresh produce and delicious street food. Leaside Lock’s local pub, The Galvanisers Union, is only a couple of minutes’ walk from the front door.
Bernard Noel purchased a 30% share of a one-bedroom apartment at Leaside Lock in 2023 after moving from Belgium four years ago. He comments: “I feel like I have found my forever home here, and I am so glad to have come across such a fantastic development… I can’t see myself living anywhere else, I am just so grateful to have found Leaside Lock – it has given me a new lease of life which I was struggling to find in the UK before!”
