Most in-demand areas among home buyers are outside the ‘London banana’

The research found that London’s most in-demand area is the Docklands, where average house prices are £551,550. Running alongside the River Thames, in inner and southeast London, the Docklands includes Wapping, Limehouse, Canary Wharf and the Isle of Dogs. Housing tends to be a mixture of flats, luxury apartments, historical homes and social housing and the residents are well-served with The Docklands Light Railway, City Airport and Jubilee Line.
