The Forge, Wesfery Road - 10 minute walk to Mudchute DLR

When I first read this advertisement! I thought I could walk from this development to Canary Wharf in 6 minutes. Wow, that sounded very attractive and the price looked good!

However, the fine print in the newspaper advertisement has clarified that the development is a 10minute walk to the nearest Docklands Light Rail station called Mudchute. From Mudchute, it is indeed 6 minutes to Canary Wharf, by DLR.

So, the development is not so near after all. Remember to read the fine print. At least the advertisers did not give the wrong impression that you could walk from this development to Canary Wharf in 6 minutes. Their 6 minutes referred to the time it takes from Mudchute DLR and you need to read the fine print to realise that the development is a 10 minute walk to Mudchute DLR.

Where exactly is this development located? It is in a place called the Isle of Dogs. Again, Google maps is your friend. This development is almost completed, if not already completed and you can see the building from the Google maps street view.

Snapshot of the location, see the dropped red pin. I think this is where this development is located but I stand corrected. Best to check with the sales agent. You can find Mudchute DLR to the northeast of the red pin.

Speaking of which, why is the DLR station called Mudchute station? Apparently this place is literally a Mud chute, where the mud from River Thames ended up here and was deposited here. The mud chute park and farm is a place for wildlife. The scenery near the park is actually quite pretty.

Isn't this gorgeous?

Also there are houses with some water facing near Mudchute DLR that look very nice.

Overall, the immediate area looks rather residential and would probably be rather pleasant to live in. Just be aware of the transport links and walking distance to the nearest DLR.

Happy investing!
