The charrette will explore opportunities to address key challenges in the area and inform a vision and a strategy for the Royal Docks Team to jointly deliver through a coordinated investment. The outputs of this will aim to improve integration of the Royal Docks and Custom House Elizabeth Line station to better serve local communities, businesses and attract visitors. A selected range of 4-5 experienced, diverse architectural and urban planning practices will work alongside and involve local representatives, stakeholders and delivery partners to collectively consider the objectives of a place-making strategy incorporating Royal Victoria and Custom House, including the interface with Custom House station and the surrounding environment. The consultant teams will be asked to identify meaningful design solutions and give rise to visionary, even speculative, propositions that can stimulate debate, progress local engagement, and positively influence the future direction of the area. 2 The Context Policemen on Horses Monitoring Strike Scene at Custom House – Image Source: Getty Images Custom House is a primarily post-war residential area centred on a local shopping parade at Freemasons Road.

  • Making a Home in Silvertown – Transcript
    Making a Home in Silvertown – Transcript PART 1 Hello everyone, and welcome to ‘Making a Home in Silvertown’, a guided walk in association with Newham Heritage Festival and the Access and Engagement team at Birkbeck, University of London. My name’s Matt, and I’m your tour guide for this sequence of three videos that lead you on a historic guided walk around Silvertown, one of East London’s most dynamic neighbourhoods. Silvertown is part of London’s Docklands, in the London Borough of Newham. The area’s history has been shaped by the River Thames, the Docks, and the unrivalled variety of shipping, cargoes and travellers that passed through the Port of London. The walk focuses on the many people from around the country and around the world who have made their homes here, and how residents have coped with the sometimes challenging conditions in the area. It will include plenty of historical images from Newham’s archives. There’s always more to explore about this unique part of London, and I hope these videos inspire you to explore further. The reason why this walk is online, instead of me leading you around Silvertown in person, is that as we record this, the U.K. has some restrictions on movement and public assembly due to the pandemic of COVID-19, or Coronavirus. So the idea is that you can download these videos onto a device and follow their route around the area, pausing them where necessary. The videos are intended to be modular, each beginning and ending at one of the local Docklands Light Railway stations.

  • For Immediate Release – 11 December 2019
    For immediate release – 11 December 2019 Green light for new homes and commercial development at Silvertown Quays Plans for a major regeneration of Silvertown Quays in east London have been given the go ahead. Detailed planning permission has been granted for the first phase of redevelopment of the site, which will include refurbishment of the landmark but currently derelict Millennium Mills building. Silvertown Quays is a swathe of land bordering the Royal Victoria Dock and close to Thames Barrier Park. When redevelopment of the site is complete Silvertown will provide thousands of new homes and non-residential space including commercial, brand, retail, hotel and community use. The finished scheme is also expected to generate thousands of jobs and make a key contribution to the continuing regeneration of an important part of east London. Silvertown Quays is able to boast a rich industrial heritage as it formed part of London’s main docks during the first half of the 20th century. Phase one of the redevelopment includes refurbishment of the Millennium Mills, a derelict and imposing flour mill that has not been in use since the 1980s. The site is also home to Silo D, a Grade II listed, modernist and reinforced concrete grain silo, which dates from the 1920s and will also become a focal point of the new development. Plans for phase one of the scheme include circa. 1,000 new homes and have now been signed off by the Borough of Newham. Those plans were put together by Lendlease and Starwood Capital, working in a joint venture as The Silvertown Partnership.

    Issue 41 Working together to promote & celebrate achievement 17 July 2015 Name & Tutor Group: Headlines by Rachel McGowan Staff News During this half-term, Mrs Mary Ward, a member of our reception team, retired from the school having served our school community for 21 years. Whilst not everyone in our community will have met Mrs Ward face-to-face, by the nature of her job many of you will have spoken to her over the phone. Throughout her service to the school, Mrs Ward has been a consummate professional in all her dealings with youngsters, families, visitors and staff and is much missed as she commences a very well earned retirement. On behalf of our whole school community can I thank her for her outstanding contribution to the school and wish her a long and happy retirement. A number of staff will be leaving us at the end of this academic year, most notably Mrs Sue Rosner, who has been a teacher here at Plashet since 1980 and Assistant Headteacher since 1997. Mrs Rosner has served the school with great distinction throughout this period holding a wide range of different responsibilities. As well as being a fantastic contributor to the leadership of our whole school she has worked closely with a number of different Cohorts as their senior line manager. As a teacher of Drama she has consistently demanded the highest possible standards from students in her own classes, and the quality of teaching she has demonstrated has been an inspiration to less experienced members of staff who will miss her wise counsel.

East London is fortunate to be well-served by an international airport that has “ been at the heart of the economic regeneration and rejuvenation of the area since 1987. The existence of London City has been a catalyst for business investment in the area. With more start-up businesses than any other part of London and clusters emerging such as Tech City and the Royal Docks, the growth of the airport in line with increasing demand will be essential.
