Beckton Riverside

Based on what you told us last summer, we developed some ideas about what the Royal Docks and Beckton Riverside Opportunity Area Planning Framework could mean for this area. Let us know what you think below...

All sites in Beckton Riverside will evolve and intensify to become a Major Town Centre with a local and strategic role. Access to the area will be transformed by a new DLR station. Growth at Beckton Riverside will feature new housing in vertical mixed use formats, and a reduction in the dominance of car parking. The new Town Centre will build on the strengths of the established retail centre, riverside location, good road access, and continuous pedestrian and cyclist riverside access.

A new high street at Beckton Riverside.

Connection to Beckton Town Centre requires improvement to the junction with Royal Docks Road and potential new gateway.

Pedestrian and cycle links connecting to existing green way creating a buffer to the Strategic Industrial Land (SIL).

Improving Armada Way and the connection to Gallions Reach Station.

Service and Industrial uses could be located on the north boundary of the site, adjacent to SIL.

Enhancing the water front through the extension of the Thames Path and a potential Clipper Pier

Social infrastructure to support significant growth.

Ensuring constraints and opportunities offered by different DLR alignment options, including an elevated or sunken new DLR station, are factored into plans for development across Beckton Riverside.

New green and open space will be provided within the new Town Centre, around the new DLR station and within new developments.
