Commercial Property to Rent in Shadwell

What Can You Use Our Shadwell Arches For?

It borders Wapping to the south, Whitechapel to the north, and sits between the City fringe and the Docklands corridor. Shadwell gives you East London connectivity without paying core City or Canary Wharf prices.
Shadwell has seen steady growth in independent businesses, food and drink operators, trade businesses, and creative enterprises. The area attracts a mix of local customers and workers commuting in from across East and South East London.
Most of our Shadwell arches rent for between £15,000 and £100,000 per year. Flexible lease terms are available, ideal for businesses ready to put down roots and grow.

Businesses that need visible frontage, loading access, or flexible layouts tend to find arches useful.
