Silvertown

Development in recent years includes 3,000 new homes built by Ballymore at Royal Wharf, which includes a new high street through the site, connecting adjacent communities with the river, a ne Thames Clipper pier, school, and other local amenities.

Construction also started on the £3 billion Silvertown development – one of our flagship development sites in the Royal Docks – which will create a new urban centre for the area with waterfront homes, retail, and workspace. The 20-hectare site around Pontoon Dock, is being developed by The Silvertown Partnership and is home to the historic Millennium Mills and Grade-II listed Silo D, both of which will be restored and remain key landmarks for the area.

In 2023, construction began on the first residential block, with over 6,500 new homes to be built overall including a significant number of affordable homes. Silverworks Island, a new 20,000 capacity open-air music venue, also opened as a meanwhile use on site, and planning consent was secured for a new pedestrian and cycle bridge across the docks, which will connect Silvertown to Custom House and easy access to the Elizabeth Line.

Over the next five years we will continue to work with our development partners to accelerate development at Silvertown, unlocking new affordable homes, jobs, social infrastructure, and leisure and cultural activities.
