Why Berkeley Group remains a favourite for London property buyers

If you have looked at London new-build property in the last few years, chances are you have come across a Berkeley Group development. This developer is behind some of the city’s most talked-about regeneration projects, including White City Living, Oval Village, Royal Arsenal Riverside, Woodberry Down. The group has built homes in well-connected neighbourhoods across London and the South East.

Benham and Reeves shares a close relationship with Berkeley, built over many years. Many of our London branches are within Berkeley developments, giving us a first-hand view of these neighbourhoods.

Founded in 1976, this company has transformed many former industrial sites and underused land into vibrant residential neighbourhoods. They create communities complete with landscaped public spaces, retail and strong transport connections

The company’s latest data reflects this consistency.

• In the year to April 2026, it delivered more than 4,200 new homes.
• Around 90% of them are built on brownfield land: land that would otherwise sit unused.
• Contributed more than £530 million toward affordable housing and community infrastructure in the year to April 2026.
• 98% customer recommendation rate, well above the industry average.

With a strong on-time delivery record and our longstanding relationship with the FTSE-listed developer, we are able to furnish properties and get them ready to market for prospective tenants with minimal delay.

Three Berkeley developments worth considering

Berkeley Group offers investors and buyers a range of opportunities across established and emerging neighbourhoods. Here are three developments we particularly recommend considering. Each offers a different combination of connectivity, amenities, regeneration potential and rental appeal.

TwelveTrees Park, West Ham

TwelveTrees Park offers buyers the chance to be a part of the first phase of a landmark 22-year regeneration programme in East London. West Ham station is on residents’ doorstep, along with five rail and Underground lines. These provide direct links across London, Canary Wharf, Stratford and the City. The surrounding green spaces, cafés, restaurants, shops and community facilities are perfect for unwinding. With strong demand from finance professionals, the development is well placed for rental demand.

Woodberry Down, Finsbury Park

Woodberry Down is one of Europe’s largest single-site regeneration projects (64 acres), with projected 5,500 new homes. It sits beside two former reservoirs, now home to the Woodberry Wetlands nature reserve. Surrounded by 40 acres of lush greenery, residents can enjoy scenic views: a rare feature this close to the city. This development is a few minutes’ walk from Manor House station (Piccadilly line). From here, Central London is around six minutes away and connections to King’s Cross, the City and central London are easy. Families have easy access to multiple universities within a close radius, including UCL, LSE and Imperial College.

Royal Arsenal Riverside, Woolwich

Situated along the River Thames, Royal Arsenal Riverside is one of South East London’s most successful regeneration stories. Today it offers nearly 4,000 completed homes: a final total of 5,163 expected by 2032. This development benefits from an on-site Elizabeth Line station. Travel is convenient to Canary Wharf, Liverpool Street, Heathrow Airport. The on-site Thames Clipper pier and riverside walkways stretch over a kilometre. Residents can take advantage of a vibrant dining and retail scene, including cafés and restaurants, supermarkets, health and wellness facilities.
