Situated directly between the new 2012 Olympic Stadium, the River Lea, the Grand Union Canal and Victoria Park, Fish Island offers an eclectic mix of spacious contemporary apartment blocks set amongst the dynamic, historial and industrious Bow backwaters of the River Lea. There are Bow Wharf Restaurants, Bethnal Green Museum of Childhood and 3 Mills Film Studios are all nearby together with little known stretches of beautiful scenery where you can find wildlife and industrial history. Hurford Salvi Carr have been instrumental in the sales and lettings of the new residential and live/work developments at Fish Island including Omega Works, Crown Wharf and The Ironworks.
Thanks to London’s successful bid for the 2012 Olympics,
there has been heightened interest in the entire region. There is an on going
regeneration of this locality, part of which has been the council giving premission
for a number of vacant properties, which had fallen into disrepair, to be converted
into live/work units bringing new life and work into the area.
Fish Island, so named, because of its street names Roach Road, Bream Street,
etc. is surrounded by water, once home to King John’s Palace which stood here
as recently as 1863. Forman and Field, the quality smoked fish, shellfish and
marinated fish producer is based here and Channel 4’s ‘Big Breakfast’ was broadcast
from the Lock Keepers Cottage from 1992 - 2002.
