Royal Albert Docks & Albert Island

The area has benefited from substantial redevelopment and placemaking over the past five years, with huge progress being made on the award-winning Royal Albert Wharf scheme, led by Notting Hill Genesis. This will deliver over 1,800 new homes once complete, 42% of which will be affordable, made possible through a
£34 million GLA Affordable Housing Grant.

Approximately 9,100sqm of commercial space will also be delivered complementing the existing Bow Arts studio space, to create a vibrant mixed-use neighbourhood. A significant programme of public realm improvements to the route along the northern edge of Royal Albert Dock has also transformed connectivity in the area, opening up the east-west footpath for the first time in decades, and making the area feel much more accessible and inviting.

Over the next five years we plan to further unlock the development potential of Royal Albert Dock and Albert Island to create an Innovation Quarter, in the Royal Docks. Working with key education anchors, industry, and the new Royal Docks Centre for Sustainability, we want to unlock the potential of the Quarter to help drive the incubation and growth of priority sectors. This will include bringing forward stateof-the-art industrial spaces at the Albert Island site, including a new shipyard, delivered by London & Regional; and a new employment-led mixed-use development at the 30-acre Royal Albert Dock site.
