Limmo Peninsula
Limmo Peninsula, E16
Located on the banks of the River Lea, south of Canning Town Underground Station and north of The o2 across the River Thames is a site that was once home to the Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company.
Currently being used as a Crossrail works site that is inaccessible to the local community, it has been identified as a Strategic Site for development in the London Borough of Newham’s Local Plan for high quality accessible open space, enabled by a residential development.
Project status: Developing design principles
Our next step is to present the initial designs
Our Proposals at Limmo Peninsula
The site can accommodate around 1,500 new homes, 40% of which will be affordable. The majority of the homes will be for rent, while a proportion will be available to buy.
Our emerging masterplan combines delivering an array of open and green spaces, with new homes and the possibility for more creative, or commercial uses on the ground floor.

40% Affordable
Targeted at key workers
Around 1500 QUALITY HOMES
to rent and to buy
New open spaces
designed for the local community
improved accessibilty
including new pedestrian and cycle routes
Currently the Limmo Peninsula site is inaccessible to the public. A series of landscape character areas will create a sense of place for the Limmo Peninsula community, creating interesting spaces to visit, enjoy and spend time in.
Sustainable development
At CLL, sustainable means more than the environment. It’s also about delivering for the local economy, and about designing a scheme with and for the existing community and about improving their quality of life. These principles are informing our decision-making as we develop our proposals at Limmo Peninsula.

Connected Living at Limmo Peninsula
Out homes at Limmo Peninsula will be ideally located. They will benefit from being next to Canning Town station which is served by the Jubilee line and Docklands Light Railway. Residents will also be able to take advantage of the excellent bus routes and cycle network in the local area.
