If you’re looking to put down roots in East London, Argenta by Guinness Homes could be what you’ve been searching for. This new collection of one- and two-bedroom shared ownership apartments in Silvertown offers buyers the chance to be part of an emerging riverside community with plenty of growth still to come.

Argenta is the first collection of homes to be released within the new Silvertown neighbourhood – a transformative new 27-acre master plan set to become one of East London’s most exciting new areas.

Part of a total 430 homes that Guinness are delivering within the masterplan, the current collection brings 66 new homes to market – an exciting opportunity for pioneering buyers to invest in the development and the growing area early on.

Discover Silvertown

Silvertown is one of the most distinctive and historic parts of London’s Royal Docks. Once defined by its industrial heritage, Silvertown is stepping into its next chapter as East London’s newest vibrant waterside community. A major placemaking project being delivered by The Silvertown Partnership, the new 27-acre masterplan will eventually deliver thousands of new homes; along with new potential commercial spaces, leisure facilities, bars, cafés and a revitalised waterfront with open swimming facilities and public parks.

Independent cafés, restaurants and local supermarkets are already on the doorstep of homes at Argenta, alongside the convenience of an on-site Co-op opening in 2026 for everyday essentials. The Thames Barrier Park offers green space just a short walk away, and weekends can be spent at Royal Victoria Dock, enjoying water sports sessions, waterside walks or discovering the area’s mix of brunch spots, breweries and Docklands pubs.

Ideal for commuters and city explorers, Silvertown offers fantastic transport links, well-connected to the rest of the capital and beyond. The area is served by the DLR at West Silvertown, providing easy links to Canning Town, Canary Wharf and the City. Custom House station, just a short walk away, connects to the Elizabeth Line – making central London and Heathrow Airport a simple journey away. Even better, the recently opened Silvertown Tunnel has slashed travel times across the Thames, linking Silvertown to the Greenwich Peninsula and the O2 Arena in minutes. For international travel, City Airport is a just a 10-minute walk from Argenta.

Inside Argenta

Offering a stylish selection of one- and two-bedroom apartments, homes at Argenta have been designed with modern living in mind. The spacious properties are complete with contemporary interiors, high specification finishes and fully integrated kitchens. Each apartment comes with its own private balcony and access to a private resident’s garden – ideal for relaxing after work or enjoying the buzz of the Docklands below. Several of the homes in this current phase will offer views across Silvertown to the east, and towards North Greenwich to the west.

Available exclusively through shared ownership, Guinness’ new homes at Argenta offer first time buyers an affordable route onto the property ladder in East London, typically requiring much lower deposits and monthly payments than properties on the open market. To help buyers settle in, Guinness Homes is currently offering a £1,000 e-voucher upon completion.*
