Tower Hamlets, London

Surrounded by the river Thames, the Isle of Dogs was London's docklands, before undergoing major regeneration in the 80s to become a favourite for young professionals.

Bordering Canary Wharf and its iconic skyscrapers, there are new housing developments here, with London's largest city farm for the kids, and Greenwich views at Island Gardens.

Head into high-flying Canary Wharf for a range of shops and eateries, get on the Docklands Light Railway, or jump aboard the Thames Clipper for Waterloo and the South Bank.
