ST GEORGE LAUNCHES PRIME WATERFRONT HOMES AS PART OF NEW CANALSIDE DESTINATION AT GRAND UNION

Located where the serene Grand Union Canal meets the banks of the River Brent, a brand new collection of 72 studio, one, two and three bedroom homes has launched at Grand Union in Wembley, North West London.

The waterfront homes are being delivered by St George – a proud member of the Berkeley Group – and will be the only homes on the development to benefit from unique dual aspect views across both waterways.

Designed as a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of city life, residents can take in stunning views from their private terraces and floor to ceiling windows, with the added benefit of access to communal landscaped podium gardens on the 1st floor.

Each home boosts a spacious open-plan layout, with residents able to choose from two colour palettes – Pecan and Pistachio – both of which are inspired by local nature.

Offering the ideal blend of work, play and relaxation, residents of Peninsula House have access to a host of exceptional amenities that you would more commonly associate with a luxury resort than a home.

The Lock is an exclusive, residents-only retreat, complete with meeting rooms and co-working space, an entertainment room, a residents’ lounge, a two-lane bowling alley with a Jukebox and an e-darts room.

Residents can also explore 14 acres of lush open space, featuring beautifully landscaped gardens, serene meadows, scenic riverside walks and even a waterfall. Expertly selected evergreen planting adds a vibrant array of colours that can be enjoyed year-round.

There is also a whole host of amenities and offerings for residents and visitors to enjoy from the canalside piazza. Whether indulging in delicious sweet treats from Crepes+Coffee, located on Grand Union’s very own narrowboat, popping into the Co-Op for some groceries or working out at Anytime Fitness, there is something for everyone to enjoy at this new community.

Alongside the cafés, restaurants and new soft play areas, there is also an exciting calendar of events including live music sessions, street food and artisan markets, yoga sessions and an annual boat race.

For families, childcare and education is well catered for, with Peapods Nursery ideally situated at Grand Union and several outstanding schools nearby, including Alperton Community School and St. Joseph’s. For those in further education, Imperial College’s White City Campus and the University of Westminster’s Harrow Campus are both easily reachable, with the latter just a short 10-minute journey away via the Lioness or Bakerloo Lines.

With more than 5,390 cycle spaces available, residents can explore the 850 metres of newly accessible waterside frontage and beyond on two wheels. Alternatively, St George has partnered with Hiyacar, the UK’s leading peer-to-peer car sharing platform and CoMoUK-accredited car club operator, to offer a more convenient and sustainable alternative to car ownership. All Grand Union residents will get two years free membership.

Marcus Blake, Managing Director of St George PLC, commented: “It is incredible to think that in 2018 we took the first steps to transform a derelict industrial estate into a thriving neighbourhood with 3,350 new homes. In just seven years over 400 residents have moved into their new homes, we have opened new cafés, a gym and convenience store, brought the community together with beautiful landscaped spaces and canalside walking routes; and are now launching our latest collection of stunning waterfront homes.

“2025 is set to be a landmark year for the community here, welcoming new businesses and opening the doors to our new social-enterprise partnership with London’s Community Kitchen, as well as rapidly adding to the leisure experience. Grand Union is truly becoming a dynamic place to live, work and enjoy.”

For those travelling into the City, West End and beyond, the development is well-located with transport links through the Bakerloo and Lioness Line at Stonebridge Park Station (Zone 3) and Piccadilly line at Alperton Station. Shopaholics will love the connections to Westfield White City in 10 minutes and Harrods in Knightsbridge and Oxford Circus in under 30 minutes.

Commuter hubs including Paddington and Euston are also a short journey away while Park Royal – London’s largest business centre – is adjacent to Grand Union. For the avid traveller, Heathrow Airport is a 50 minute tube ride away, putting London’s major travel hub right at your fingertips for international journeys.

Prices at Peninsula House start from £350,000 for a one bedroom studio apartment.

The Grand Union Marketing Suite is open daily from 10-6pm Monday – Saturday and 10-5pm on Sunday. For further details about Grand Union or to book your appointment, please visit the website or contact our sales team on 020 8733 2460.
