Canada Water

The Canada Water Masterplan, a joint venture involving British Land, Southwark Council, and the local community, aims to establish a vibrant new town center in Southwark and London. Spanning 53 acres, it envisions a development that caters to various needs, encompassing residences, offices, retail spaces, public areas, and amenities.

The masterplan is a response to the policy directives of the Greater London Authority and Southwark Council, aligning with their goals to introduce new residences and employment opportunities in Canada Water. It stands as a collaborative effort to complement and enhance the local surroundings.

Engaging with the local community has been a cornerstone of this initiative. Over 5,000 individuals have been part of extensive consultations since 2014, influencing the plans. Key commitments include:

The Canada Water Masterplan intends to become a hub for local services, offering enhanced facilities and services in collaboration with NHS, education authorities, and the Metropolitan Police. It plans to introduce a range of activities and amenities for various age groups.

Efforts are directed toward minimizing environmental impact, managing energy costs, and enhancing local air quality through green spaces, 'green buildings,' and increased biodiversity.

Ongoing commitments include the continued support for education, enterprise, and community projects, fostering a foundation for the local community to benefit from future opportunities generated by the Masterplan. Collaboration with local charities and community groups has been a significant aspect of this ongoing commitment.

Canada Water is the sort of place where you’ll know your neighbours and become part of an established community that’s lived here for generations. 

Built on the proud traditions of the Surrey Commercial Docks that once criss-crossed the Rotherhithe peninsula, Canada Water is already home to a community from all walks of life, from families with docking heritage to those drawn by hidden green spaces, clean air and fast access into the centre of town.

Whether you're just starting out, flying in your career, looking for a peaceful and healthy place to raise a family, or thinking of downsizing, there will be a home for you in this special place.
