Overview
East Ham is one of the eight Community Neighbourhoods in the London Borough of Newham and is home to a diverse and active town centre, with strong civic, cultural, faith, and community assets. It plays an important role in the everyday life of local residents, businesses, and visitors, shaped by a rich mix of activity and long-standing local institutions.
The Council is supporting a range of initiatives and investment projects across East Ham, focused on improving neighbourhood assets, strengthening the public realm, and supporting a more vibrant and inclusive local economy. This includes strategic work to understand the future of East Ham High Street, alongside wider activity taking place across the neighbourhood.
