Regeneration and Renewal

London Riverside

London Riverside is the largest development opportunity in the London Gateway. Its area extends 6 square kilometres on the bank of the Thames across the London Boroughs of Barking and Dagenham and Havering, and Thurrock.

The vision is for London Riverside to be a new urban centre with a mixed-use, high-density environment. It will accommodate high-tech industry, leading-edge businesses and residential communities in sustainable housing.

There will also be new leisure and community facilities, all of which will be designed around new and existing public transport. By 2016, London Riverside will accommodate 20,000 new homes and jobs for an extra 25,000 people.

London Riverside is a priority area for the Mayor of London and the London Development Agency. The London Development Agency has committed £32 million to London Riverside Limited regeneration programme and is investing directly in developing the area.

A London Riverside Action Group, of which Barking and Dagenham is a member, has been established through London Riverside Limited to prepare a strategy for the area.

An Urban Strategy for London Riverside has been adopted by London Riverside Limited to drive forward change in this area.
