The Kiln Works

in London

Where is the Kiln Works situated?

The Kiln Works is located in Limehouse, a vibrant area in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. One of the perks of living in the new residential complex is its close proximity to the looming towers and world-class amenities of Canary Wharf and the City. In addition, Limehouse itself is generously peppered with various dining, retail, and leisure options, making sure that you have everything needed just outside your home.

The neighbourhood offers plenty of green spaces, where you can relax and recharge away from the buzzing streets. Mere minutes away from the Kiln Works is King Edward Memorial Park, a beautiful riverside space sprawled across 3,3 hectares with its lush greenery. The park accommodates a bandstand, a children's playground, a bowling green, an all-weather football pitch, and tennis courts. You can enjoy stunning views from one of its waterfront benches.

Apart from its amazing location between the two bustling financial districts, the Kiln Works also has access to amazing transport links. A short stroll away from the complex is Limehouse Station, served by National Rail (c2c) and Docklands Light Railway, providing a 5-minute trip to Bank and Fenchurch Street, among many other destinations.
