About

Canning Town East sits in the London Borough of Newham, east London, with a mix of mid-20th-century housing estates and newer residential blocks where industry and dockland once stood. Local life centres on small shops, community centres, schools and pocket parks that serve nearby streets. Social housing and private development sit side by side, and street patterns still reflect older industrial plots and railway corridors that shaped the area’s growth.

Transport is a defining feature: Canning Town interchange links the Jubilee line with the Docklands Light Railway and a busy bus station, while Star Lane DLR station on the Beckton branch opened in 2011 and provides an extra local stop. The A13 runs close by, carrying traffic across east London and influencing how neighbourhoods connect to one another. Ongoing regeneration projects have focused on housing replacement and improved pedestrian routes around the stations, leaving the ward with a layered urban fabric where transport infrastructure and local amenities meet.
