Property for sale in east London - a housing stock as varied as its residents

Nov. 3, 2014 - PRLog -- Helped along the way by the emergence of the Young British Artists, a food revolution in and around Brick Lane/Spitalfields and the Olympic legacy, east London is now on an equal par with other more established London areas, with one agent reporting that East End property values were rising faster than those in west London.

East London's great advantage is its housing stock - from mellow brick terraces and graceful townhouses set around communal squares to industrial loft-style conversions and shiny new build development by the river Thames.
