Fulham Riverside by Barratt Homes (Part 3)

Continued from Part 2

No Towering Skyscrapers
One reason why the development has broad support could be because the design is rather subtle - no towering and gigantic skyscrapers.  The tallest slim building is only 17 storeys.

What About the Location?
The marketing website www.fulhamriverside.com gives you a very factual account of the transport links.  In my view, they are not great.

London Underground (aka Tube)
Fulham Broadway is the nearest Tube Station, 20 minutes on foot.  Fulham Broadway is a London Underground station on the Wimbledon branch of the District line. It is between West Brompton and Parsons Green stations and is in Travelcard Zone 2.

The station is located on Fulham Broadway (A304). It is notable as the nearest station to Stamford Bridge stadium, the home of Chelsea Football Club.

I verified on google maps that it is indeed 20 minutes on foot, as stated on the marketing website.  Don't believe the local (Singapore) sales agents if they tell you otherwise.  Here is the screenshot.

London Railway - Imperial Wharf
You may have noticed a nearer station called Imperial Wharf, a 12 minute walk from Fulham Riverside.  This station was opened in Sep 2009.  That is NOT the Tube.  The connections are not fantastic.  The most important service would be the 4 trains per hour to Clapham Junction. You can check out this page.

The area surrounding Imperial Wharf Railway Station, called Chelsea Harbour is also very nice and developed.  There are apartments there, and even a harbour for yachts.

River Bus from Chelsea Harbour Pier
Chelsea Harbour Pier is also the place you need to go in order to take the river bus to the City or West End.  The pier is about 200M from the Imperial Wharf Railway station.

Pricing
What about pricing?  From the website, I found this.  It looks to be rather aggressively priced, more than 1,000 pounds psf.  Oh well, I guess this area is up and coming.
