Transforming Limmo Peninsula

We are delighted to be working with Ballymore and Places for London on their joint venture to transform the Limmo Peninsula into a new neighbourhood for London—bringing 1,400 new affordable, market and rental homes to East London, within the Royal Docks and Beckton Riverside Opportunity Area.

The new neighbourhood will transform the five hectares of brownfield land and be well connected, with a new bridge from the Limmo Peninsula to Canning Town, the construction of new publicly accessible green open space and a new river walkway to link Canning Town underground station to Thameside West to the south.

John Mulryan, Group Managing Director at Ballymore, said: "We have deep roots in Newham and are truly delighted to be partnering once again with Places for London. This partnership is in line with our ambition to partner with landowners across London to deliver new neighbourhoods and communities at scale.

“Newham is a fast growing, diverse borough—and it’s hugely important that the vision for this site reflects that character. Limmo Peninsula will be a dynamic neighbourhood—where its community can thrive. We’re looking forward to collaborating closely with local residents and businesses to create opportunity, connections, and a thoughtfully designed, sustainable neighbourhood.”

Ben Tate, Head of Property Development at Places for London, said: “The Limmo Peninsula development will be one of our most ambitious developments to date, showing how we can work with the private sector to benefit from the unique opportunities that our estate provides, and helps, us as part of TfL, to support London’s continued growth. We’re looking forward to creating a thriving and inclusive new residential neighbourhood, that is safe and child friendly, with excellent transport and active travel connections.”

Tom Copley, the Deputy Mayor of London for Housing and Residential Development, said: “With 40 per cent of these homes set to be genuinely affordable—alongside new green space and improved walkways and cycle routes connecting local residents in Canning Town to nearby transport—this impressive development supports our mission to build more of the homes that Londoners need as we continue to build a better, greener, fairer London for everyone.”
