The London property market is entering 2026 with renewed stability following a period of adjustment throughout 2024 and 2025. According to Rightmove, Zoopla and Savills, improving buyer confidence, stabilising interest rates and sustained rental demand are shaping a more balanced market, particularly in well-located central London areas such as Tower Hill and Wapping.
With excellent transport links, proximity to the City and Canary Wharf, and high-quality residential developments, Tower Hill and Wapping continue to attract both owner-occupiers and investors seeking long-term value.
Rightmove’s 2026 outlook suggests modest house price growth across London as affordability improves and transaction levels recover gradually. While price inflation remains controlled, buyer activity is increasing in prime and fringe-prime areas where supply remains constrained.
Zoopla data highlights that London continues to outperform many UK regions in terms of rental demand, particularly in Zone 1 and Zone 2 locations. Properties close to employment hubs, transport interchanges and new regeneration projects are achieving faster lets and strong rental yields.
Savills research indicates that prime central and riverside London locations are now firmly in a consolidation phase, with stable pricing expected through 2026 and improved liquidity compared to the previous two years. This creates favourable conditions for both sellers and landlords who price realistically and market professionally.
Tower Hill and Wapping remain among East London’s most resilient property markets. Their appeal is driven by:
Developments such as London Dock (E1W) continue to perform particularly well, benefitting from premium amenities, waterfront surroundings and limited competing supply.
According to Rightmove and Zoopla rental data, demand for well-presented apartments in Tower Hill and Wapping remains strong, with minimal void periods when properties are priced correctly. Rental values have largely stabilised following sharp increases in previous years, but tenant demand continues to exceed supply in prime developments.
Savills notes that professionally managed properties in central London are achieving stronger long-term returns due to reduced turnover, higher tenant quality and consistent occupancy.
