London's traditional business districts are no longer purely commercial engines — they are becoming residential magnets, and the consequences for the capital's housing market are profound. Areas built around office towers and financial services, from Canary Wharf to King's Cross and Nine Elms, are seeing sustained residential development that is redrawing where value sits in London property. What was once a simple story of workers commuting into the City and Docklands has become a far more complex picture of live-work-play districts that are pulling capital, tenants and owner-occupiers away from traditional prime postcodes.
