About Cubitt Town
Cubitt Town is a residential area on the Isle of Dogs, located south-east of Canary Wharf and close to Millwall, Blackwall, Greenwich and the River Thames. It has a quieter and more local atmosphere than the business-focused towers of Canary Wharf, while still benefiting from docklands transport links and riverside access. The area was developed in the nineteenth century and has long been associated with workers’ housing, docks and East London industry. Today, Cubitt Town includes a mix of estates, modern apartments, townhouses, local shops, schools, parks and community facilities. It offers a more residential view of the Isle of Dogs, away from the corporate intensity of Canary Wharf. Mudchute Park and Farm is one of the area’s major attractions, providing open space, animals, walking paths and views across the docklands skyline. The Thames Path and Island Gardens are also nearby, offering riverside walks and views toward Greenwich. DLR stations such as Mudchute, Crossharbour and Island Gardens provide transport connections. Cubitt Town is practical, residential and green by docklands standards. It is ideal for families, commuters and visitors looking for quieter river and park access close to Canary Wharf, Greenwich and the wider Docklands.
