About

Mill Meads is a low-lying, open expanse of land within the London Borough of Newham, situated between Stratford and West Ham. The area is characterised by its flat, grassy terrain and is bordered by the River Lea to the west and the Channelsea River to the east. Historically, this land was part of the floodplain for these waterways, and its development has been shaped by this relationship with water. The landscape remains largely undeveloped, dominated by meadows and scrubland.

The area is traversed by several footpaths and waterways, including the City Mill River. It forms a significant part of the wider Lower Lea Valley green spaces, providing a corridor for wildlife in an otherwise densely built-up part of east London. The presence of the Three Mills tidal mill complex, with its distinctive house mill building, is a notable historical landmark situated on its southern edge, linked to the area's industrial past.
