Limited access with nearby canal
The iconic canal side development in the rejuvenated, once industrial, Fish Island, celebrates the heritage of the area with a handcrafted oak framed balcony and a rooftop terrace.
Carpenters Wharf is made up of 35 canalside apartments in the vibrant and trendy Hackney Wick, London. The oak framed balconies bring the industrial feel build to life - combining craft with a gritty urban past. For fifty years the site of Carpenters Wharf was home to furniture makers A. Younger, who shipped timber down the canals to this location and crafted it into sideboards, tables and chairs.
The balconies are based right on the waterfront and have views over the Olympic Park in Stratford which is just 100 yards away.
