The Royal Docks: The Regeneration of East London

On the banks of the River Thames, in the London borough of Newham, the Royal Docks area - the Royal Group of Docks - comprises three docks: the Royal Albert Dock, the Royal Victoria Dock and the King George V Dock. Opened between 1855 and 1921, they were one of the largest freight bases until the second half of the 20th century. Today, their history and growth continue unabated, driving cultural, commercial, and residential development in the east of the English capital. Consultancy firm Mott MacDonald is involved in the program, improving infrastructure and enhancing the biodiversity of the area through interventions at the Thames Barrier Park, Connaught Bridge, and the Royal Albert Way Overpass.
