West Ham, Industrial district in East London, England
West Ham extends across an area located 6.1 miles east of Charing Cross, between the River Thames and River Lea waterways.
The district transformed from an ancient parish into a manufacturing center following the 1844 Metropolitan Building Act, which relocated industries from central London.
The district maintains strong connections to its industrial past through local heritage sites and the preserved Victorian-era architecture throughout the neighborhood.
West Ham contains numerous transportation links, including multiple Underground and DLR stations connecting residents to central London and surrounding areas.
The area earned recognition as the Factory Centre of South England during the Victorian period due to its concentration of manufacturing facilities.
