The Silk District, London E1 

The Silk District apartment collection is nestled in the historic Whitechapel, a vibrant East End district bordering the City of London.

Well placed within an established residential neighbourhood, this modern, mixed-use development occupies a convenient and quiet location near the new Tower Hamlets Town Hall and is a short distance away from Whitechapel Road home to the Elizabeth line.

Silk District’ s 600 high-valued residences are arranged in three distinctively new buildings: The Jacquard, The Georgette and The Bouchon. The site comprises a neat ensemble of buildings including a terrace of townhouses, a low courtyard block and two towers. Within the site is a sizeable public realm area with an elegant piazza created as an open landscaped urban sanctuary with mature trees amongst elegant seating and modern playground facilities. The Silk District residents’ facilities include a 24-hour concierge, a cinema room, co-workspace, gym/fitness facility, and secure bicycle storage. The first residents moved in 2022 and the development reached completion in 2023.

The Silk District is a venture partnership by the well-established developers: Mount Anvil and L&Q. The master plan and design are by Stockwool, the London-based architects and experts in urban regeneration. Launched in 2018, the collection has been built on a site previously occupied by a large Self Storage facility.

Shortlisted in 2017 in the Planning Awards for Best Housing Scheme and Best Regeneration Scheme, The Silk District won the 2022 Development of the Year award by Resi Awards and the Residential Project of the Year award 2023 by Constructing Excellence Awards.

Apartments

The apartments offer an oasis of calm and comfort. Individually designed, spacious and cozy, the open-plan layouts feature full-height sliding glass wall allowing in maximum daylight. Each home has access to a generously sized private balcony or terrace. The Silk District signature natural oak effect panelling features in both kitchens and bathrooms. A unifying terrazzo effect porcelain floor extends from living rooms to bathrooms and brings an element of ‘Italian glamour’. The distinctive, space-savvy kitchen cabinetry is fitted with high-end integrated kitchen appliances and is the design statement on its own. The elegant master bedrooms have sizeable built-in wardrobes and additional storage space. Heating, hot water and power are provided by a central system. Each apartment has underfloor heating as well as house ventilation.

Location

The Silk District has been recognized as a landmark residential development in central Tower Hamlets district, as well as a top real estate investment opportunity in Whitechapel. The location offers rich heritage, a diverse community, a strong local economy, prolific arts, crafts, and culture, and excellent transport links. The nearby Whitechapel Road is home to a large London street market and is due more investments which will transform it into a modern centre for commerce, shopping, and leisure. In January 2023 the scheme was allocated with £9 million from the Government’s Levelling Up fund.

The new Queen Mary Bart’s Life Science medical research campus, and the Whitechapel Crossrail station, both in the vicinity of the development, have benefited from a recent £300 million Whitechapel regeneration fund.

Near the development are some of the biggest employers in the Tower Hamlets borough: The Royal London Hospital, Barts Health NHS Trust, and the Queen Mary University of London School of Medicine and Dentistry campus.
