Royal Victoria & West Silvertown

This mixed-use area will provide more than 7,000 new homes, as well as a new DLR station and 4-acre riverside park, once development sites at Thameside West, the Limmo and Knights Road, come forward.

The area is well connected by public transport and in recent years with the arrival of City Hall and a growing waterfront and cultural offer, it has become a focal point for the city’s shift east. Significant public realm and dock edge improvements, increased watersports and recreational activities, new public art and dockside performances, and a burgeoning creative workspace community, which extends to Canning Town, have transformed the area into a major gateway and visitor destination.

Over the next five years, new developments will bring added vibrancy and opportunities, including a new generation of employment, additional homes, new green spaces, walking and cycling routes, as well as expanded public transport.

Ensuring this development is cohesive and connects established and emerging centres of activities and communities, is key and we will work with our partners over the next five years to ensure there is a coordinated, integrated, approach.
