Jamestown Harbour is a low-density luxury housing development of 73 homes that sits in Poplar in East London, between Poplar Dock and Blackwall Marina. It is spread across three cul-de-sacs: Landons Close, Bridge House Quay, and Lancaster Drive. Wood Wharf is to south and is undergoing major redevelopment.

Jamestown Harbour is surrounded by 5 heritage waterways:

  • Poplar Dock and its sole ancillary structure (Grade II listed)
  • the Poplar Dock Entrance Lock (Grade II listed)
  • Blackwall Basin and its two ancillary structures: the Blackwall Basin Entrance Lock, and the Blackwall Basin Graving Dock (all three are Grade I listed).

History

Landons Close from Poplar Marina

The development was designed by WCEC Architects for the Wates Group and was completed circa 1985. Jamestown Harbour was one of the first housing developments of the original London Docklands regeneration scheme. With its brick built warehouse style exteriors and distinctive blue and red balconies, it was designed to recreate the appearance of traditional river and dockside warehouses.
