Canning Town, London Borough of Newham
Rathbone Market
This 680,000 sq ft mixed-use development on 5.5 acres forms part of the redevelopment of Canning Town centre and will create a new commercial district, new housing and a refreshed High Street within the Thames Gateway and Olympic areas.
The construction of 271 new homes, shops and cafes began in November 2010 and will be completed by summer 2012. Later phases in the scheme are expected to be complete by early 2016 and will include a new market square, shops, offices and community facilities. A total of 650 new homes will be delivered.
The scheme is part of the Canning Town & Custom House Regeneration Programme, which aims to transform the area physically, socially and economically to create a sustainable and mixed community where new and old residents choose to live, work and stay. Rathbone Market is one of the first sites to be developed within this programme.
