Earlier this year Peabody announced its proposals
for a £1bn regeneration programme for
Thamesmead over the next ten years.
This, together with two Housing Zones which are being
led by the London Borough of Bexley and Royal Borough of
Greenwich and delivered by Peabody, with more than £45m
funding from the Greater London Authority, has made
Thamesmead one of the UK’s leading regeneration projects.
As well as creating thousands of new homes, we are
committed to improving existing homes and public
spaces and creating jobs and commercial opportunities
in Thamesmead.
Working with investors, we want to make Thamesmead
an area of opportunity for all and with the Elizabeth
line opening in 2018, not only will it make jobs and
opportunities in the capital more accessible to Thamesmead
residents, but it will help to bring new businesses and
amenities to Thamesmead, making it a more attractive
place to live, work and visit.
We are working with the London Borough of Bexley and the
Royal Borough of Greenwich to look at how we can make the
most of the Elizabeth line. This includes extending the public
realm improvements that they are carrying out around
AbbeyWood station and along Harrow Manor Way to create
a gateway into Thamesmead.
We are also looking at how we can make the most of the DLR
extension that is in the pipeline for Thamesmead and are
working with Transport for London to see how we can bring
further transport improvements to the area.
