The View From the Bridge - as good as the play...
Review Submitted: June 18, 2009

Set amongst the idyllic new but homely Royal docks development you could not really ask for more when it comes to providing a relaxed, comfortable but lively set of surroundings.
The flat itself was lovely, good size with two bedrooms, bathroom, living room and kitchen, could easily fit four in, plus an amzing, huge balcony about the same size as the flat overlooking the Victoria dock. First floor but there is a lift right by the door for ease of access.
The local area is full of like-minded family crowds, mostly other holiday makers or those that work in the city or in Canary Wharf and looking for a comfortable surrounding to live in. The DLR stop is less than ten minutes walk away, and can get you to Canary Wharf in 10 mins, Greenwich in 15 mins and then Bank station in 25 mins, or the other way, City airport in 5 mins.
A local shop sits next to a local bar/restaurant by the dock, less then 2 minutes walk away, with a scattering of other shops and bars/restaurant around the dock.
The best bit of all though is the absolutely fantastic panaramic view of London from the bridge that crosses the dock. Worth visiting just for that!
