This Jubilee line hotspot has made the neighbourhood one of the sought after locations for renters in the capital. According to Foxtons: “There are lots of modern riverside apartments on the banks of the Thames at Greenwich, while closer to Greenwich Station there are rows of charming cottages and a mixture of period architecture surrounding Greenwich Park. Dog owners, this is a great area for pet friendly London apartments.”

Renters approach this area for its affordable prices and size of the flats and houses that range from studio living to five-bedroom homes.

An up and coming rental location to check out is Dressage Court which offers stylish apartments. Just a short 6-minute walk from Bethnal Green station and some of East London’s trendiest bars and restaurants.
