North Woolwich and East Silvertown Strategic Regeneration Framework and Delivery Plan
About the North Woolwich and East Silvertown Strategic Regeneration Framework and Delivery Plan
In July 2025, Newham Council started the North Woolwich and East Silvertown Strategic Regeneration Framework and Delivery Plan. This is a long-term plan to improve the area for local residents, community groups, organisations, and businesses.
The North Woolwich and East Silvertown area covers around 2km squared and is located within the Royal Albert ward. Locations in the area are London City Airport, the Tate & Lyle Factory, the Tate Institute, the North Woolwich Ferry Terminal, and Royal Victoria Gardens, as well as local community facilities, industrial areas, housing, and smaller green spaces.
The area has already benefited from several investments, including:
- The first phase of refurbishment of the Tate Institute, as a community and cultural events space,
- The Factory, opened in 2022, providing affordable and creative workspace and event space
- Tipping Point East, completed in 2025, which reuses construction materials to support low-carbon building projects.
- A small number of new housing developments.
The strategy aims to make sure local people benefit from the wider regeneration taking place across the Royal Docks and to reduce the area's sense of isolation. It focuses on four key priorities:
- Economy and Skills – Creating pathways to local jobs, skills and opportunities.
- Culture and Community – Strengthening community connections, local culture, and resilience.
- Food and Health – Improving access to healthy food, health services, and wellbeing support.
- Nature and Climate – Increasing biodiversity and helping the area become more resilient to climate change.
Types of Interventions
The strategy includes a range of interventions that vary in size and complexity. These are grouped into:
- Place based projects – Physical improvements or developments.
- Programmes – Activities and services that are delivered.
- Enablers – Actions that support, influence, or help deliver change.
The framework recognises that the Council has limited financial resources. As a result, successful delivery will depend on working closely with local organisations, community groups, businesses, and Council teams. Some projects may require little or no funding, while others will need investment. The strategy therefore also sets out possible funding opportunities and approaches to securing financial support.
