Grand Union

Development Overview

Grand Union is a significant, new build homes development by Berkeley Homes, located on Beresford Avenue in Wembley, London (HA0 1NW). This ambitious regeneration project is transforming a 22-acre brownfield site into a vibrant, waterside neighbourhood on a peninsula framed by the Grand Union Canal and River Brent. The development comprises a collection of contemporary Manhattan (studio), one, two, and three-bedroom apartments. Factual pricing examples show a one-bedroom apartment available for sale at approximately £388,000, or available to rent at around £1,600 per calendar month (£369 per week).

Property Details

The properties offer spacious, light-filled living with contemporary interiors, high-quality fixtures, and a modern colour palette, with the majority of units featuring private outdoor space such as a balcony or terrace. Beyond the individual homes, Grand Union is designed as a complete, self-contained community. Residents benefit from exclusive, on-site facilities including a residents’ lounge, a ten-pin bowling alley, a 24-hour concierge service, and a visually engaging waterfall garden. The development's infrastructure includes a planned on-site Co-op supermarket and the Twisty Tails Nursery, adding practical convenience.

Location Benefits

Transport connectivity is a key advantage of the Wembley location, with the Zone 3 Stonebridge Park station just a short walk (approximately five minutes) from the development. From Stonebridge Park, the Bakerloo Line and London Overground provide reliable links, with journey times to major London hubs including Paddington in 21 minutes and Oxford Circus in approximately 26 minutes. The site is also near other major transport options, including Wembley Park Station (Metropolitan and Jubilee lines) and Wembley Central Station (Bakerloo Line, London Overground). Road access is straightforward via the North Circular. Buyers should be aware that the area falls within the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ).

The surrounding Wembley Park area is rich in amenities. Residents have immediate access to a waterside piazza with cafes, bars, and restaurants within the development, and benefit from 14 acres of landscaped grounds and riverside pathways. A short distance away, the wider Wembley area provides substantial retail and leisure options, notably the London Designer Outlet (LDO) with over 60 outlet stores and restaurants, and BOXPARK Wembley, a vibrant hub offering 20+ street food traders and events. Local essentials include the Wembley Park Medical Centre, The Gym Group, and the popular Bread Ahead bakery.
