Connectivity continues to be a key consideration for buyers across the capital, shaping how people live, work and spend their free time. Recent research highlights the importance of proximity to transport, with over 80% of Londoners saying that being near a station is either ‘very important’ or ‘fairly important’ when choosing where to live.* Responding to this demand, Guinness Homes is offering a new collection of one and two-bedroom Shared Ownership homes at Argenta, a development located within well-connected Silvertown.
Ideal for commuters and city explorers alike, Silvertown offers speedy transport connections across London and beyond. The area is served by Pontoon Dock DLR station, placing residents just one stop from Canning Town – a major transport hub connecting to the Jubilee Line and Elizabeth Line – and providing direct links to Canary Wharf and the City. Custom House station, just a short walk away, also connects residents to the Elizabeth Line, offering fast and direct journeys into central London and onwards to Heathrow Airport.
Connectivity in the area continues to improve further, with plans for a new 305-metre, step-free pedestrian and cycle bridge set to link Silvertown directly to the Elizabeth Line at Custom House. The recently opened Silvertown Tunnel has also significantly reduced cross-river journey times, connecting Silvertown with the Greenwich Peninsula and the O2 Arena in just minutes.
Set to become one of East London’s most iconic neighbourhoods, Silvertown is a 27-acre placemaking project being delivered by The Silvertown Partnership. Argenta is the first collection of new homes to launch in within the masterplan. Once complete, the masterplan will deliver thousands of new homes alongside plans for new commercial spaces, leisure facilities, cafés and bars, as well as a revitalised waterfront featuring public parks and open swimming facilities.
Hellyn Fairbrother, London and South East Sales Manager at Guinness Homes, comments: “Silvertown is fast emerging as one of East London’s most exciting new neighbourhoods, and its transport connections are a huge part of its appeal. With the DLR, Elizabeth Line and new cross-river links all close by, buyers have the opportunity to enjoy waterside living while remaining exceptionally well connected to the rest of the capital.”
Offering a stylish selection of one- and two-bedroom apartments, homes at Argenta have been designed with modern living in mind. The spacious properties are complete with contemporary interiors, impressive finishes and fully integrated kitchens. Each apartment comes with its own private balcony and access to a private resident’s garden – ideal for relaxing after work or enjoying the buzz of the Docklands below. Several of the homes in this phase will offer views across Silvertown to the east, and towards North Greenwich to the west.
In addition to the impressive on-site facilities planned, there is already plenty on offer for Argenta purchasers in the area. Minutes from the new homes is a selection of independent cafes, restaurants and local supermarkets. The Thames Barrier Park is just a short walk away, and on weekends, residents can head to Royal Victoria Dock and enjoy water sports, riverside walks and a plethora of places to eat and drink – including boutique brunch spots, eateries, local breweries and waterside pubs.
Prices start from £97,500 for a 25% share of a one-bedroom apartment (full market value £390,000) and £126,250 for a 25% share of a two-bedroom apartment (full market value £505,000).
