Where to buy a London home in 2020:three of the capital's emerging districts with big futures

30/01/2020

Giant regeneration schemes will drive 2020’s housing market as London's fast-changing districts appeal to home buyers playing the long game.

Early indications are that buyers and sellers are coming out of the woodwork in 2020.

Latest Rightmove research shows asking prices across London are up year on year, as are the number of homes coming on to the market and the number of sales being agreed. 

Miles Shipside, Rightmove’s housing market analyst, predicts an “active spring market” for the first time since 2016’s EU referendum.

If you want to take advantage of a reviving market in a city where billions of pounds is being invested in creating new homes and facilities, these three regeneration zones, all very different, could be great places to start your 2020 house hunt. 

If you like your regeneration zones box fresh, this £8.4 billion project could be just the thing. 

In total 15,000 new homes, shops, cafés, bars, restaurants and 48 acres of open space is creating a new waterfront suburb in the shadow of The O2. 

The nearest station is North Greenwich on the Jubilee line with services taking just two minutes to Canary Wharf, eight to London Bridge and 18 to Bond Street. 

Two new schools are part of the scheme and nearby Millennium Primary is rated “outstanding” by Ofsted. 

Why Greenwich Peninsula is tipped as one to watch in 2020

It’s going to be a big year for the peninsula with the completion of Upper Riverside, one of a series of planned new residential neighbourhoods.
