The house was nice and spacious. it is not luxurious, but definitely well priced. The neighborhood is what I would deem transitional. Public transportation is convenient and has been recently made more convenient by the addition of the Elizabeth line. A 2 minutes bus ride gets you to the Custom House station and you can be in Central London in about 20 minutes. The Jubilee and DLR lines to Canning Town are also an option. There is a big Morrison's grocery there and convenient buses that put you minutes from the house.
