East London Living: Guinness Homes launches next phase at Leaside Lock

Guinness Homes has announced The Waterside, a brand-new collection of homes occupying a prime canal-side position within the growing Leaside Lock neighbourhood in Bromley-by-Bow, East London. The Waterside will deliver 186 new homes in total – a mix of studio, one and two-bedroom apartments and three-bedroom townhouses available for Private Sale and one and two bedroom apartments through Shared Ownership. The final phase of this exciting development, The Waterside is expected to launch from late spring 2026. 

Buyers at The Waterside will benefit from an existing concierge and estate management team, alongside a range of on-site amenities. Facilities within the scheme include a gym by The Gym Group, local convenience store and pop-up barbers, with a nursery and café also planned to open within the wider development of Leaside Lock – Guinness Homes’ flagship scheme. 

Hellyn Fairbrother, Regional Sales Manager – London & South East at Guinness Homes, comments, “The launch of The Waterside marks an exciting milestone. This is a completely new collection of homes in a fantastic canal-side location, offering buyers the opportunity to join a thriving, well-established community while benefiting from beautiful, modern homes. With excellent transport links, on-site amenities and green space on the doorstep, The Waterside stands out as a desirable place to live in East London.” 

The new homes have been carefully designed to suit modern living. All homes are finished to an impressive specification throughout, featuring open plan living spaces, contemporary kitchens with integrated appliances, stylish bathrooms and energy-efficient design. 

The Waterside is ideally located for commuting across the capital. Bromley-by-Bow Underground Station is just a short walk away, providing District and Hammersmith & City Line services into central London, The City and Canary Wharf, while nearby DLR connections offer fast access to Stratford. Walking and cycling routes along the canal towpath connect residents directly to Three Mills Green, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and Westfield Stratford City. 

The surrounding area offers plenty to see and do. Roman Road, just a short walk away, is lined with cafés, boutiques and bakeries, and hosts its historic 150-year-old market three times a week, offering everything from fashion to street food. The Galvanisers Union, The Waterside’s local pub, is also only a few minutes’ walk from your new home. With waterside walks, green open spaces and cultural attractions close by, residents benefit from a lifestyle that balances excellent connectivity with a strong sense of place. 

For families, a number of good local schools are in close proximity to the development, including the Old Palace Primary School, Bow Secondary School and Harris Science Academy East London. 

Find your East London flow – with space to breath and moments from everything, at The Waterside.
