Metro’s London for Less series emphasizes homes that can put you on a ladder with an affordable scheme, even in the expensive capital.

this week: Mooring, Brentford TW8, £95,250 at 25% share £385,000.

Affordable water stays in a tranquil setting may seem too good, but that’s exactly what you can expect from The Moorings.

Located along the River Brent at Brentford Rock, you can enjoy walking and cycling along the towpath that leads to Thames Rock on the Grand Union Canal. Explore the green spaces of Zion Park and Gunnersbury Park and sample the fare at local independent restaurants and cafes.

The neighborhood is in Zone 4, and travelers can take the train from Brentford Station to Waterloo (around 30 minutes). Or you can hop on the Piccadilly subway line at Boston Manor.

The home is a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom apartments, all with open-plan layouts, floor-to-ceiling windows, kitchen cabinets, carpeted bedrooms, and private balconies.

The in-ground playground means young residents don’t have to venture far to burn off energy, and it has a great view of the river and the locked rooftop garden.

Check out his house on August 11, when the show hosts a rooftop cocktail party from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm; be sure to book in advance through LANGAH.
