Canning Town, District in East London, England
Located north of the Royal Victoria Dock, Canning Town features residential buildings, shopping centers, and markets spread across the London Borough of Newham.
The district developed rapidly after 1847 with the introduction of railway connections and the opening of Royal Victoria Dock in 1855, transforming marshlands into an industrial center.
The district holds a population of 42,667 residents as of 2021, forming a mix of African, Bangladeshi, and Eastern European communities shaped by maritime connections.
The district connects to central London through Jubilee Line and Docklands Light Railway stations, offering direct access to Canary Wharf and Stratford within transport zones 2 and 3.
A £3.7 billion regeneration program transforms the area with new housing developments, including Hallsville Quarter and Rathbone Market, creating modern residential and commercial spaces.
