2. LIVING IN BECKTON An Area Transformed from Industrial to Modern Residential with Great Access to the City Centre Beckton is a suburban East London district, part of the Newham Borough. Its industrial history, marked by the former Beckton Gasworks, is now left in the past as massive regeneration and redevelopment plans transform the area. Up to the 19th century, Beckton was an area of unpopulated marshland. As London grew, the area was flooded with industrial infrastructure projects, and housing was built in the area to host workers for the gas and sewage projects. Beckton’s major recent transformation began in 1981 when it was included in the London Docklands Development Area, an ambitious project including 120,000 new jobs that contributed to a massive rise in interest for housing in Beckton. Students also became interested in the area after the University of East London opened up a campus here. Beckton is steps away from London’s only Enterprise Zone — The Royal Docks. Enterprise Zones are areas that provide tax breaks and other economic incentives as part of a government industrial strategy to revive the UK’s economy. The project started in 2013 and covers an area of 125 hectares. It is projected to provide a total of 35,000 new jobs and 4,000 new homes. In June 2018 a £314m investment package was approved to further accelerate the regeneration of the Royal Docks

3. ABOUT THE AREA – BECKTON GUIDE Once part of Essex, Beckton is now part of the London Borough of Newham. It is located in East London, only 8 miles from Charing Cross. It used to be part of the parish of East Ham which became a county in 1914. It became part of the Borough of Newham and Greater London in 1965. Beckton’s history revolves around the Beckton Sewage Works and the Beckton Gas Works, the largest gasworks in Europe. After the housing built for the Beckton Gas Works workers, numerous prefabricated houses were built in Beckton soon after the Second World War to provide homes for those left homeless. They were set up along streets named after renowned generals and war heroes, which were cleared during the redevelopment of North Beckton in the 1980s. After Beckton was included in the London Docklands Development Corporation’s regeneration area, it was transformed from industrial to modern residential. It now comprises mainly new-builds and large shopping centres like Gallions Reach Shopping Park. Few Victorian terrace houses can also be found in the area.
