Royal Wharf

Royal Wharf is a vibrant residential and commercial development located in the London Borough of Newham, along the north bank of the River Thames. This area, once an industrial site, has transformed into a modern community featuring 3,385 residential units and 10,000 square meters of retail space. Notably, it is built on the historic site of the Silvertown explosion, which occurred in 1917, and includes the relocated Silvertown War Memorial. The development, which began in 2012, is nearing completion and aims to house around 10,000 residents, offering amenities such as a primary school and leisure facilities. Convenient transport options include nearby Docklands Light Railway stations and a riverboat service, making it an attractive destination for tourists and researchers interested in urban development and history.
