One of the most affordable places to rent a home in central London, Cubitt Town sits to the east on the Isle of Dogs and is a safe, secure and somewhat unassuming residential area of the capital. Often overlooked in favour of the skyscrapers of Canary Wharf, Cubitt Town was a former shipbuilding and repair centre. Now, it's almost entirely a residential space. Cubitt Town is in the midst of a redevelopment, so new homes are available to rent here all the time. However, as the residences grow, so too do the local amenities in the area, and as a result, this community is becoming an increasingly popular location for renters.
