Thamesmead, a historically isolated part of London, is undergoing a major regeneration project led by Peabody housing association. This initiative aims to create 20,000 new homes, potentially doubling the population. The waterfront area will see the most development, but this hinges on extending the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) to the suburb. Over 500 homes have already been completed, with ambitious plans for affordable housing. The Lesnes Estate is also being redeveloped to add 1,950 new homes, with portions earmarked for affordability, addressing the pressing housing needs of the area.
Thamesmead, one of London’s most poorly connected areas, is undergoing a massive regeneration project that includes plans for 20,000 new homes, potentially doubling its population.
Peabody is spearheading the Thamesmead regeneration, which aims to revitalize the area by addressing its past isolation and improving connectivity and living conditions.
Bexley Council has permitted Peabody to redevelop the Lesnes Estate, introducing 1,950 new homes with at least 35% affordable housing, highlighting the commitment to tackling housing needs.
Construction for over 1,900 homes is ongoing in West Thamesmead, with plans for 40% of these to be affordable, enhancing the region's housing accessibility.
