"One of the scheme’s design goals is to reinvent the classic London
garden square, with softer architecture and green space. “We don’t want

"At the moment, the new eateries and bars at the
basin are used mainly by in-the-know residents and office workers. Marks
& Spencer, Orange and Visa are among the 40 companies who have
relocated there, joining small support businesses who operate from
barges moored on the canal.
"When complete in four years’ time,
more than 30,000 people will live and work there. Buoyed by Crossrail,
this new business hub should underpin property values for people buying
now."
