Newham

About

Newham is a borough in east London along the north bank of the River Thames. It contains districts such as Stratford, Canning Town, Plaistow, East Ham and West Ham, and includes the Royal Docks complex made up of Royal Victoria, Royal Albert and King George V docks. Stratford is home to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and the London Stadium, both on land that was redeveloped for the 2012 Games. The borough also includes large residential areas and local high streets that grew up around dockland and railway connections.

Transport hubs and waterside infrastructure shape much of Newham. Stratford station links Underground, rail, Overground, DLR and Elizabeth Line services, while the Docklands Light Railway and bus networks connect Royal Docks and Beckton. ExCeL London and London City Airport are both in the Royal Docks area, and the University of East London has a campus at Docklands. The dock basins, former heavy industry and recent regeneration projects sit side by side, so canals, dock gates and newer housing and commercial schemes are often found within the same neighbourhood.
