Few things capture the rise to
prominence of London’s eastern environs
more succinctly than English National
Ballet’s recently-announced move
to the heart of London City Island.
The organisation’s premises are one
of the island’s architectural highlights,
with floor-to-ceiling windows allowing
passers-by a glimpse of the activity inside.
The new headquarters at London City
Island will also serve as a home to the
renowned English National Ballet School.
With dancers and musicians coming and
going including world class stars, classes,
exhibitions and open access to see what
is going on inside, the presence of English
National Ballet will add an inspiring note
to an extraordinary neighbourhood.

While belonging unmistakeably to the
aesthetic of the Island as a whole – with
hints of the trademark maritime red and
strong and distinctive materials – the
apartments are also hugely flexible.
Every resident will find enough
versatility here to bring their own
individual interior vision to bear both in
terms of decor and layout. Islands are,
after all, havens of individuality, so every
apartment in London City Island is created
with personality, and for personality.
as are sight lines of landmarks such as
the dazzling Canary Wharf cityscape, the
otherworldly dome of the O2 Arena, the
epochal Olympic Park and the baroque
shape of St Paul’s Cathedral, a reminder
that the historic City of London is just a
short trip on the Docklands Light Railway.
Sizes available vary from a one bedroom
suite to an expansive penthouse. Views,
whether from metal-framed windows or
private balconies, are spectacular in any
season or at any time of day. The rivers
Thames and Lea are a constant presence,
