The Limmo Peninsula, a five-hectare brownfield site in East London, is set to be transformed into a thriving new neighbourhood. This ambitious residential-led development aims to deliver approximately 1,400 new homes, playing a crucial role in addressing London's urgent housing needs. Formerly a vital staging ground for the construction of the Elizabeth line, where tunnelling machines were lowered, the site is now poised for a new chapter of urban regeneration.
Key Features:
- Extensive Housing Provision: Around 1,400 new homes will be delivered, encompassing affordable, market, and rental properties. A significant commitment of 40% of these homes will be genuinely affordable, supporting a wide range of Londoners.
- Enhanced Connectivity: The development will feature a new bridge connecting the Limmo Peninsula directly to Canning Town, significantly improving pedestrian and cycle access.
- Green Open Spaces: A substantial amount of new publicly accessible green open space will be created, offering residents and the wider community areas for relaxation, recreation, and improved biodiversity.
- Riverside Walkway: A new river walkway will be constructed, linking Canning Town Underground station to Thameside West, providing scenic routes and promoting active travel along the waterfront.
- Sustainable Travel Focus: The location encourages active and sustainable living, with close proximity to new cycling routes, including Cycleway 3 and the Thames Path.

Local Community
The Limmo Peninsula development is set to become a vibrant addition to the Canning Town area, a diverse and fast-growing borough. Our vision is to create a neighbourhood where community can truly thrive, with a focus on being safe and child-friendly. The integration of new public spaces and improved pathways will foster connections within the development and with the existing local fabric. We are looking forward to collaborating closely with local residents and businesses to ensure the new neighbourhood reflects the character and needs of Newham.
Transport Connections
Excellent transport links are a cornerstone of the Limmo Peninsula development. Residents will benefit from being a short walk away from Canning Town Station, which provides access to:
- Jubilee Line
- Docklands Light Railway (DLR)
- Elizabeth Line
- Multiple bus services
This connectivity places Central London within a convenient half-hour journey, facilitating easy commutes, socialising, and visits to family and friends across the city. The proximity to Cycleway 3 and the Thames Path also offers a range of sustainable alternatives for getting around.
