Royal Docks Corridor

Western Gateway street and public realm improvement works

Starting 27 October 2025

Newham Council is pleased to announce that an additional project phase has been added to the Royal Docks Corridor. Western Gateway, Tidal Basin Road, and the southern section of Seagull Road will soon be improved to make it safer, greener and more people-friendly.

Improvements will include:

• Reduced traffic speeds
• Segregated cycle tracks
• New public spaces
• More green space, trees, and planting
• Sustainable drainage systems

Existing street layout – October 2025

Proposed layout 

This new project phase is possible because the original Royal Docks Corridor project was delivered under-budget. The council and the Greater London Authority have invested further to extend the improvement works.

Works will start on Monday 27 October 2025 and are expected to take approximately one year to complete. The works will be carried out by contractors Kenson Highways. We understand that construction works can be disruptive, and we will do everything we can to minimise negative impacts.

We will be available in-person to answer your questions at the following locations:

• Hoola Building reception 
  • Tuesday 28 October 2025 (7:00am – 10:00am)
  • Wednesday 29 October 2025 (3:00pm – 6:00pm)
• Western Gateway, in front of the Pumping Station
  • Monday 3 November 2025 (3:00pm – 6:00pm)
