Tell us the best bits about living in Canning Town

  1. Canning Town has great transport links, it is on the Jubilee line and takes 2 minutes to get to the O2 Dome; 5 minutes to get to Canary Wharf and 20 minutes to Green Park in the West End. It also has DLR stations which makes it easy to get to City Airport, Bank and Tower Hill. There is a new DLR route that will connect Canning Town with Stratford City Westfield shopping centre, right next to the Olympic Park; and Stratford International Eurostar station, that will open in August 2011. There will even be a Crossrail Station in Custom House in 2017. It is just a quick stroll down to the lovely and picturesque Royal Docks, where the Excel Centre is located, there are also some nice pubs, restaurants and wine bars, and is a lovely area to walk around. Some large areas of Canning Town are currently being regenerated, over the next couple of years, there will be a new town centre built opposite the station and new shops and a street market on Barking Road. The developments, which you can see as you wander around the town, will also include new housing; office space; retail, including a new Morrisions supermarket and leisure amenities. I have lived here for about 7 years and have seen the place improve dramatically, there is a diverse population and most people are very friendly. I can't wait for the new regeneration to be completed for it to become a really great area to live in. Submitted by Nick, August 2011 via the website
