Spotlight along the Elizabeth Line
Tuesday, April 25, 2023
Running from Reading in the West, through central London and Essex to Shenfield in the East and through Canary Wharf and Woolwich to Abbey Wood, The Elizabeth Line is London’s newest line. Detailed planning started in 2001 and construction began in 2009 at Canary Wharf. It is fitting that the late Queen Elizabeth II unveiled the new roundel naming the Elizabeth line in 2016, and formally opened the line in May 2022. With journey time from Slough to Canary Wharf in under an hour, towns and villages along the Elizabeth Line have become more desirable for commuters and house prices have seen a corresponding uplift over the decade prior to its opening.

This is especially true across our network area spanning Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, and Middlesex. Some towns, such as Chesham, have absorbed the old heart of the town within designated conservation areas as organic growth expands outwards. Others, such as the new and old towns of Beaconsfield, scarcely touch and sit almost a mile apart.
