Silvertown Quays, Urban regeneration project in Royal Docks, England.
Description
Silvertown Quays is an urban redevelopment project spanning 25 hectares along the River Thames, combining residential buildings, business spaces, and repurposed industrial structures. The site merges new architecture with preserved historic buildings to create a mixed urban environment.
History
The site was once a busy port and industrial hub, with the 1906 Millennium Mills grain mill and the Grade II listed Silo D from the 1920s still standing. These buildings represent London's past as an active port and manufacturing center along the Thames.
Culture
The redevelopment brings together new residential communities and business spaces, creating a mixed neighborhood that reflects London's evolving waterfront identity. People from across the city come here to work in contemporary offices and live in newly built apartments.
Practical
The site is roughly 15 minutes from central London and is accessible via the Elizabeth Line at Custom House station. Visitors will find wide pathways along the water, green spaces, and contemporary shops to explore.
Did you know?
The site sits within London's only Enterprise Zone, a specially designated area with economic incentives for businesses. This special status makes it an important location for new ventures and job creation in the city.
