Local area guide
Skip hire in Newham
Newham is a borough in east London, running from Stratford and Forest Gate down through Canning Town and East Ham to the Thames at Beckton and North Woolwich, with a population of around 355,000. It was formed in 1965 from West Ham and East Ham, both historically part of Essex, and it is among the most ethnically diverse local authority areas in the United Kingdom — no single ethnic group forms a majority, and the borough has one of the youngest populations in the country.
Newham's history is industrial and dockland. The Royal Docks — Victoria, Albert and King George V — opened between 1855 and 1921 and together formed the largest enclosed dock system in the world, handling a vast share of Britain's imports and employing tens of thousands. Their closure in the early 1980s devastated the local economy and left hundreds of acres of derelict water and quayside, which have been the focus of regeneration ever since, including London City Airport, the ExCeL exhibition centre and the University of East London's waterfront campus.
Stratford was transformed by the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, built on heavily contaminated former industrial land in the Lea Valley, brought the stadium, the Aquatics Centre, the Velodrome and the ArcelorMittal Orbit, and the athletes' village became the East Village housing development. Westfield Stratford City, opened in 2011, is one of the largest urban shopping centres in Europe, and the area now hosts East Bank — a new cultural quarter with the V&A East, Sadler's Wells East, the BBC and the London College of Fashion.
The borough has deep industrial and social history: the Bryant and May matchgirls' strike of 1888 at Bow, just over the boundary, and the Beckton Gas Works, once the largest in the world, shaped labour organisation and London's energy supply. West Ham United played at the Boleyn Ground in Upton Park for over a century before moving to the London Stadium in 2016.
Newham is exceptionally well connected, with the Elizabeth line, Jubilee, Central, District and Hammersmith & City lines, the DLR and the Overground. Housing ranges from dense Victorian terraces across East Ham, Forest Gate and Plaistow to post-war estates in Canning Town and Custom House, and enormous volumes of new high-density development at Stratford, the Royal Docks and Canning Town, making Newham one of the fastest-changing boroughs in London.
