London Borough of Newham

Newham spans 36.22 square kilometers of urban territory, incorporating residential neighborhoods, commercial zones, and green spaces along the River Thames and River Lea.

The London Government Act of 1963 established Newham through the merger of East Ham and West Ham boroughs, creating a new administrative entity in 1965.

The borough contains multiple community centers, libraries, and educational facilities that serve its population of over 387,000 residents from different ethnic backgrounds.

The Newham Council operates from the Town Hall in East Ham, managing municipal services, housing assistance, and urban development projects across the district.

During the 2012 Olympics, Newham contained major athletic facilities including the London Stadium, which later became the home ground for West Ham United Football Club.
