The new Silvertown Bridge has been built nearby.
Silvertown represents one of London's most ambitious urban regeneration initiatives, which aims to revitalize a historically significant area of the Royal Docks in East London. This master plan will create thousands of new residential units focused on sustainable architectural design, public spaces, and connectivity. Reanimating a formerly derelict 50-acre industrial site, the development transforms the location into a thriving mixed-use community centered around the iconic Millennium Mills building.
Led by The Silvertown Partnership with significant funding from Homes England and support from the Greater London Authority, the comprehensive scheme incorporates housing, retail, workspaces, cultural venues, and parks to cultivate a livable and well-integrated destination. Housing options will accommodate a variety of needs across tenures while preserving remnants of the locale's industrial past through the adaptive reuse of landmark structures.
Silvertown is conceived as a socially inclusive, environmentally conscious community. Approximately 6,500 units are planned, half designated affordable housing. Significant greenery like squares and waterfront promenades feature alongside commitments to biodiversity and energy-efficient construction. Public input shaped key aspects to reflect local perspectives.
Well-integrated transportation is paramount for success, as Custom House station provides quick access to the Elizabeth Line and DLR. Low-carbon commuting is supported through cycling paths and walkways. The site's strategic location within the Royal Docks area makes it ideal for long-term investment and urban evolution. This development offers living spaces but also contributes to a broader vision of economic and cultural rejuvenation.
This project distinguishes itself through the balancing of heritage preservation and innovation. Millennium Mills, a 20th century flour mill and iconic East London landmark, will be restored as a cultural and commercial anchor providing flexible workspaces and event venues. This ensures an authentic blend of old and new architecture, establishing Silvertown as a destination in its own right.
Phased delivery maintains momentum and guarantees high standards, including vibrant public spaces like The Docks waterfront, landscaped parks and community facilities supporting a balanced urban lifestyle.
