Coronation Square

Development Overview

Coronation Square is a major new build development by Taylor Wimpey, located at 118 Oliver Road in the vibrant East London neighbourhood of Leyton, E10 5UJ. The scheme is a significant regeneration project on the former Score Centre site, delivering a total of 750 new homes, approximately 50% of which are designated as affordable housing in partnership with the local council. The masterplan centres around a new Market Square designed to be a focal point for residents and the wider community, with commercial space for new shops, cafés, and market stalls. The overall development is scheduled for completion in phases, with the timeline extending through to 2027, and some blocks having had completions as early as late 2022.

Property Details

The development comprises a selection of 1, 2, and 3-bedroom contemporary apartments, alongside a limited number of 2-bedroom townhouses. Specific architectural features include open-plan living areas, floor-to-ceiling windows to maximise natural light, and a private balcony or terrace for every apartment. Kitchen specifications include integrated German-engineered units with Siemens and Zanussi appliances. Leasehold terms are 250 years with a peppercorn ground rent. Properties are covered by a 10-year NHBC warranty and a 2-year Taylor Wimpey fixtures and fittings warranty. The estimated service charge is approximately £3.05 – £3.15 per square foot.

Location Benefits

Coronation Square boasts specific and immediate transport connectivity. Leyton Underground Station (Central Line, Zone 3) is approximately an 11-minute walk from the development, providing direct access to the City and West End. This connection places Stratford, a major transport hub and home to Westfield Stratford City (1.1 miles away), just one stop away. The development sits adjacent to Coronation Gardens. Locally, the vibrant Leyton High Road is a short walk away, while the popular Francis Road, known for its independent shops and restaurants such as Yardarm Wine Shop and Deeney’s, is also easily accessible. Essential services are close by, including a Tesco Express within 0.2 miles.

On-Site Amenities and Practical Information

The regeneration project delivers extensive on-site community infrastructure, replacing previous facilities. This includes a new NHS Health Hub, an enhanced indoor sports and leisure centre, and an enhanced pre-school nursery, the latter of which doubles the capacity of the former Score Centre nursery. Additional communal space features include high-quality landscaped podium gardens, communal cycle storage, and access to a car club.
