Transforming the Royal Docks

Building the future of London in the Royal Docks

The Royal Docks is on its way to being transformed into a dynamic new destination for London. Powered by its diverse communities, pioneering spirit and global links, the Royal Docks is the future of London.

To bring this great ambition to life, we are bringing forward eight major development schemes that will collectively deliver at least 12,000 new homes in the Royal Docks. This is an area with an extraordinary history and unimaginable scale. As the Mayor of London’s largest land-led project, with over 175 hectares of land in GLA ownership, the Royal Docks is uniquely positioned within London for housing and economic growth. 42,500 jobs are forecast over the next 20 years, as well as a total of 30,000 new homes, much of which will be affordable housing.

As the capital’s only Enterprise Zone, the Royal Docks must also be at the forefront of driving forward London’s and Newham’s recovery postpandemic – marshalling all of the investment into the area to rebuild a better, fairer and more sustainable city.
