Shared Ownership Homes in One of the Best Places to Live

Renowned for a lively art scene, blending contemporary culture with the best of authentic old London, Walthamstow in East London has been named by The Times as one of the best places to live in 2021.

A hub for creativity, this popular northeast neighbourhood offers homeowners more space than in the capital’s central districts, without compromising on quick transport links to the rest of the city. E17 is quickly becoming the chosen postcode for trendy professionals looking to set down roots in a thriving, well-connected location.

Ideally situated within this property hotspot, L&Q at Blackhorse View is a new collection of 108 one and two bedroom Shared Ownership apartments which launched on Saturday 24^th July. From its enviable position directly opposite the Zone 3 Blackhorse Road Underground Station, journeys into Kings Cross take 13 minutes on the Victoria line, making the apartments ideal for commuters looking for quick routes into central London.

Claire Brenlund, Sales Director at L&Q London comments, “Walthamstow is a buzzing north London hub – it’s no surprise it’s been identified as one of the best places to live by the Sunday Times!

“Making this hotspot accessible to all buyers, the Shared Ownership homes at L&Q at Blackhorse View are in an unparalleled location – so close to the station, offering direct access to the Victoria Underground line. The combination of transport links with Walthamstow’s first-class cultural scene make this development an exciting place for first time buyers to step onto the property ladder. With even more entertainment and food options on the way, there’s much more to come.

Honouring the area’s industrial heritage, the surrounding Walthamstow neighbourhood has a cool warehouse vibe. Trendy cocktail bars like Ruby Negroni and Walnut Old Fashioned, as well as popular haunt God’s Own Junkyard, preserve the area’s lively character.

Situated within the wider Blackhorse Lane regeneration area, residents will be able to enjoy some 17,000 square feet of retail and commercial spaces being delivered as part of the masterplan. The Shared Ownership homes are already within walking distance of a range of amenities, including popular destinations Wood Street Coffee and the Wildcard Brewery, which hosts events including car boot sales and vegan markets.
