London Riverside occupies the eastern end of London Thames Gateway. It is an area of contrasts, challenges and opportunities containing some of London's largest vacant sites, important industrial areas and some of the capitals last wild spaces and valued habitats.

Design for London has worked with partners to prepare a vision for London Riverside as a new mixed use urban area on the River Thames. It will make optimum use of land to accommodate businesses and sustainable housing, leisure and community facilities designed around new and existing public transport. By 2020, London Riverside will be able to accommodate 20,000 new homes and an extra 25,000 jobs.

Design for London seeks to capture the momentum of change in London Riverside by engaging with all stakeholders at all scales of design. Design for London has also been active in developing links with the areas to the north of the A13, and the River Thames, and has been catching opportunities to deliver these connections. The East London Green Grid has been a key tool in delivering east-west linkages within the London Riverside area.
