Property Description
What are the whereabouts of Pontoon Reach?
Pontoon Reach is placed right at the centre of Royal Docks, a fast-growing industrial district that lies within the London Borough of Newham. Surrounded by the waterways, the new complex provides stunning views across the River Thames. The area is packed with business hotels and refined restaurants that offer Asian and European cuisine. In addition, Pontoon Reach is within strolling distance of ExCeL London, an enormous events venue hosting huge exhibitions and trade shows.
To get a temporary reprieve from the hustle and bustle of Royal Docks, residents of Pontoon Reach can go for a walk in Thames Barrier Park, a charming riverside green space located mere minutes away from the complex. Visitors are welcomed to roam about beautiful gardens and wildflower meadows while admiring the water sceneries. There is a 5-a-side football and basketball pitch for those who feel an urge to compete in a friendly game, while children are welcomed to explore a play area.
Pontoon Reach boasts unrivalled transport connections. Pontoon Dock DLR station is a short walk away from the complex, providing a swift way to reach the City or Canary Wharf in addition to a 2-minute trip to London City Airport, which is also just a 12-minute walk from Pontoon Reach.
