Surrey Quays - Region Background and Development

Surrey Quays is a major residential area in the southeast of London, adjacent to Canada Water and South Dock. Because this area is close to the City of London, it is home to many upperclassmen. Preferred residential location, therefore very popular in the Buy to Let market!

In the past, Surrey Quays was not as popular as it is now. It was not until the late 1980s and early 1990s that the area underwent a large-scale construction plan, and a total of 5,500 new homes were built. The originally abandoned wharf has been re-emphasized, and the government of the area has gradually built various facilities and projects in daily life, which is why today's Surrey Quays comes into being.
