Defoe House

London City Island is a fabulous new neighbourhood, nicknamed ‘Mini Manhattan’, comprising 12 acres of mixed use development including homes, offices, restaurants, boutique shops, pedestrian and cycle routes, waterside parks, arts and cultural spaces.

This area of east London has always been full of activity; with London City Island once being one of the British Empires busiest docks. These days’ commerce in the area has moved away from the seafaring business it once supported and has been replaced with an economy of technology and finance.
