Releasing the latest collection of London Living Rent (LLR) homes at its South London development, L&Q at Queen’s Quarter is set to host an open day on the 23rd of November, giving potential tenants a glimpse into life at the popular south London scheme.

With a pop-up located in the adjacent Queen’s Gardens offering refreshments throughout the day, L&Q will have a Specialist Mortgage Advisor from Check my Affordability on hand to answer questions and offer advice to those looking to rent through the Government scheme. The two-bedroom show home will also be open to view by appointment.

Andrea Palmer, Head of Intermediate Rent at L&Q comments: “London Living Rent has been a truly popular scheme since its launch in 2018, helping a huge number of Londoners save money each month towards a deposit for their first home.

“We have recently launched a new collection of one-, two- and three- bedroom apartments in East Croydon – allowing residents to enjoy the best of the area’s vibrant lifestyle and excellent transport links while saving towards their future homeownership goals. It’s an exciting opportunity for those looking to settle in a dynamic, well-connected part of Greater London.”

Funded by the Mayor of London, LLR is a government-backed scheme which enables tenants to rent a home at a discounted rate. This helps renters to save money each month, which can go towards buying a home – either through Shared Ownership or outright sale. Plus, all properties that are on the LLR scheme guarantee tenants of an assured shorthold tenancy of a minimum of three years and a maximum of ten, offering security in what is proven to be a fast-moving market.

Homes at L&Q at Queen’s Quarter offer modern, flexible living spaces in a thriving destination. Each apartment offers integrated kitchen appliances including a microwave, oven, ceramic hob, fridge/freezer, and dishwasher. For those who continue to work from home, the spacious living areas easily accommodate a desk, while still providing ample room to relax. Main bedrooms feature en-suite bathrooms with sleek, modern fixtures, and each home comes with a private balcony. Residents also have exclusive access to a landscaped rooftop garden, offering a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Overlooking the renovated Queen’s Gardens, residents can enjoy views of manicured lawns, mature trees, and vibrant flower beds, alongside new play areas designed for the community. Locally, tenants can explore Croydon’s cultural destinations, from independent theatre pubs and art cafes to live music venues and museums. Nearby Wandle Park, with its 21 acres of green space, offers another peaceful escape, complete with a river, bandstand, and ornamental gardens.

Journeys to central London take from as little as 16 minutes and there are frequent direct connections to major Zone 1 and Zone 2 stations. Buses and trams also bring many of the local area’s busiest employment spots within easy reach.

L&Q’s Open Event will run between 11am and 3pm on Saturday 23rd November. Guests should register their interest and complete the application form to ensure eligibility: https://lqhomes.com/queensquarter/register-interest/
