All Aboard: Buy Property Along the Newly-Opened Elizabeth Line
Anyone who works in London or lives near the capital is cracking open the champagne now that the long-awaited Elizabeth Line has opened, formally known as Crossrail. Four years and almost £19 billion later, the line currently connects Paddington to Abbey Wood but will eventually fully link west to east – Reading and Heathrow to Shenfield and Abbey Wood via central London.
Homeowners and investors are looking forward to reaping the benefits of the high-frequency, high-capacity suburban passenger service, which will include slashing travel time for Londoners and commuters. The perks for everyone will include not to mention air-conditioned carriages with free Wi-Fi and 4G, while holidaymakers and business travellers will include getting from central London to Heathrow in 30 minutes.
