Defoe House, London City Island, London, E14

Listed 24 Sept 2026 · Newham
Lixing is delighted to present this beautifully positioned one-bedroom apartment on the 12th floor of Defoe House, within the award-winning London City Island development. Offering approximately 538 sq ft (50 sq m) of internal accommodation, the property benefits from a desirable east-facing aspect, a private balcony and excellent natural light throughout.
Stepping inside, the entrance hallway provides useful built-in storage before opening into an impressive open-plan kitchen, living and dining area. Extending to approximately 25 feet in length, this bright and sociable space is ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Full-height glazing draws in plentiful natural light, while direct access to the east-facing private balcony creates a natural extension of the living space and an inviting spot to relax above the city.
The contemporary kitchen is seamlessly integrated into the reception area, with modern cabinetry, integrated appliances and ample worktop space. The generously proportioned double bedroom also enjoys the elevated outlook and features built-in wardrobe storage, while a stylish modern bathroom completes the accommodation.
London City Island is one of East London's most distinctive residential developments, combining striking architecture with an exceptional lifestyle offering. Residents benefit from 24-hour concierge service, residents' gym, swimming pool and spa facilities, landscaped communal areas and residents' lounges, creating a private, resort-style environment within easy reach of Canary Wharf.
Connectivity is another major advantage. Canning Town Station is conveniently accessible via the development's pedestrian bridge, providing both Jubilee Line and DLR services. Canary Wharf, London Bridge, the City and the West End can therefore be reached with ease, making the apartment particularly attractive to professionals, owner-occupiers and investors.
With its 12th-floor position, east-facing orientation, private balcony and superb transport connections, this is an excellent opportunity to secure a well-proportioned one-bedroom home within one of E14's most recognisable developments.
