Thamesmead, which began developing in the 1960s, is undergoing significant change as housing association Peabody revitalizes the area. With aspirations for a doubling of its population to 100,000 by 2050, there are plans for around 20,000 new homes, with a major focus on Thamesmead Waterfront, which promises 15,000 homes. Moreover, construction is already in progress in South Thamesmead, but comprehensive redevelopment requires logistical and funding solutions like the necessary DLR extension to facilitate further growth and infrastructure improvements.
The first homes in Thamesmead date back to the 1960s, with recent large-scale redevelopment efforts by Peabody aiming to double the town's population by 2050.
Thamesmead Waterfront plans to build 15,000 new homes and revamp the town center, but progress hinges on the funding for a crucial DLR extension.
Construction is already underway in South Thamesmead, with over 500 homes completed so far and more developments expected by 2027.
With almost 20,000 new homes planned, Thamesmead is set for significant transformation in the next two decades, increasing its population dramatically.
