Aspext

Where is the new complex situated?

Located in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, Aspext finds itself in the flourishing area of Hackney Wick. Thanks to the London 2012 Summer Olympics, the district has seen some significant regeneration that has brought an abundance of galleries, museums, and culinary hotspots.

The new residential complex is placed right next to the stream of the River Lea that separates it from Queen Elizabeth Olympic park, putting a perfect place for a tranquil walk right at your doorstep. Apart from lush greenery and a network of paths, the area is home to London Stadium, the athletes' Olympic Village, London Aquatics Centre, and the London Olympics Media Centre. The stadium is the home ground of West Ham United FC, which hosts plenty of fascinating matches each year. Another stunning green space within strolling distance is Victoria Park, the largest park in the borough sprawled across 86,18 hectares with its decorative gardens, historic artefacts, and sports facilities.

Aspext is well-connected to the rest of the city. Both Bow Road Underground and Hackney Wick Overground stations are a short walk away from the new complex, making it possible to arrive at Liverpool Street in just 9 minutes and reach King's Cross St Pancras in 21 minutes.
