Thames Gateway

The Thames Gateway is an area of land stretching 40 miles east from inner East London on both sides of the River Thames and the Thames Estuary. The area, which includes much brownfield land, has been designated a national priority for urban regeneration.

These are Barking and Dagenham, Bexley, Havering, Lewisham, Greenwich, Newham and Tower Hamlets. The LTGDC facilitates implementation plans to accelerate the regeneration of town centres, commercial sites, housing and services to improve the quality of life for people living and working in the area.

King cross

King's Cross St Pancras. King's Cross is undergoing one of the largest and most complex programmes of planning and development-led regeneration in Europe. There are a number of major projects currently underway or at the planning stages. By 2020, an estimated 60 million passengers a year will pass through the King's Cross transport interchange - almost the same number of passengers as those currently passing through Heathrow airport.

The Channel Tunnel rail link into St Pancras is now complete, but construction of a new Thameslink station continues and the expansion of King's Cross St Pancras underground  station. King's Cross St Pancras will play a key role in the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games as it will provide the hub for the Olympic Javelin service, taking visitors to the Olympic Park in just seven minutes. 

After construction of the CTRL, the surrounding lands between the stations could become one of the largest mixed-use brown-field redevelopment’s in the UK. Situated to the north and between the two stations and sited mainly in Camden, this £2 billion new urban quarter would have a major impact on numerous areas sorrounding the station.
