A huge new development of affordable homes in East London has finally been built.

The Canary Wharf development brings 300 new homes to the centre of one of London’s busiest districts - and they're now available to rent.

Three huge buildings will be added to the densely-populated Isle of Dogs, with the tallest housing 27 floors of flats.

Flats in the largest building, 30 Harbord Square, will cost between £1,165 and £1,399 a month.

While high, this rent rate is considerably less than the average £2,508-a-month rent in Tower Hamlets, according to property website Foxtons.

The average monthly rent price in Canary Wharf is even higher at £2,652 a month, meaning the new flats far more affordable than neighbouring properties.

The other two buildings in Harbord Square, which share 143 flats between them, will have their rent prices set by Tower Hamlets Council.

The rooms in the new buildings range between studio and three bedroom-sized flats.

Each flat will have its own balcony, which developers Canary Wharf Group (CWG) say will offer fantastic views of the surrounding city.

Designed by architect Patel Taylor, the new buildings will give residents easy access to shops, gyms, restaurants, parks and other amenities, as well as transport links from the nearby Tube and DLR stations.

There are also over 2,000 bike racks for cyclists to use around the nearby area.

With a population of 40,000, the Isle of Dogs is already the most densely populated place in the UK.

This is expected to more than double to 100,000 in the next 10 years, with new developments being built every year.
