INTRODUCTION

Building the future: that’s what the Docklands has always been about. It once pushed industry forward, and now Royal Victoria Dock is in the midst of redefining itself as a connected and perfect place to call home.

Royal Docks West is a new residential development in the heart of the Docklands, just a three-minute walk from Custom House DLR, where Crossrail is anticipated to begin in December 2018, offering excellent connectivity across the capital, with leading schools and universities on your doorstep.

Standing at 19 storeys, all apartments will have balconies from which you can enjoy impressive water views or urban vistas. Steps from the water and minutes from the DLR, Crossrail and Emirates Air Line, Royal Docks West offers excellent connectivity across the capital.

British education is internationally renowned and remains at the forefront of educational innovation and creativity. Revered the world over, good British schools are as diverse and distinct as the children within them and provide the most influential examples of what a good school can and should be.

Whether state, independent, boarding, day, preparatory or senior – British schools prepare children for life and open doors to the most prestigious universities and career opportunities worldwide. Each school is unique, yet displays the character that is the hallmark of a well-educated child: self-confident with a breadth of interests and qualifications.

EDUCATION IN AND AROUND THE ROYAL DOCKS DEVELOPMENT

* The Russell Group “represents 24 leading universities which are committed to maintain the best research, an outstanding teaching and learning experience and who have unrivalled links with business and the public sector”. www.russellgroup.ac.uk

** QS World University Rankings is an annual publication of university rankings by Quacquarelli Symonds (QS). www.topuniversities.com

With over 550 schools within a five-mile radius of Royal Docks West, including 78 schools within a two-mile radius, a wide range of schools are available in both the state and independent education sectors to best suit any individual child’s needs.

Primary schooling is particularly strong with a selection of outstanding state schools such as Hallsville, St Luke’s and St Joachim’s all within one-mile of the development. The area also offers a variety of options for secondary and further education within the state system such as the outstanding Brampton Manor Academy, Rokeby School and Newham Sixth Form College.

For those wishing to pursue an independent education, Faraday Prep School offers a co-educational education for 4-11 year-olds, with a further four co-educational independent schools within a two-mile radius, all offering education for children aged from 4 to 16. Blackheath High School, part of the prestigious Girls Day School Trust, offers independent education for girls aged 11-18.

The leading central London universities are all easily accessible, as are Oxford and Cambridge and many other highly regarded Russell Group* institutions. The University of East London, one of the most diverse in the country, is within a 15-minute journey of Royal Docks West. Additionally, a short journey on public transport gives access to both Queen Mary University and the University of Greenwich, which are within five miles of the Royal Docks West development. University College London (UCL), ranked 7th in the QS world ranking** three years running, is currently expanding with a new East campus as part of the re-development of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, with the first phase scheduled for completion by September 2020. The new campus will be easily accessible from the main Bloomsbury site, with high speed travel from London St Pancras International to Stratford International taking just 7 minutes. Crossrail is anticipated to start from Custom House station in December 2018, connecting Royal Docks West with top universities in London such as London School of Economics (LSE), Kings College London and University College London within 30 minutes.
