Today, Silvertown is reinventing itself, undergoing an incredible regeneration, and already emerging as a truly wonderful community in which to live, work and socialise.
It is rapidly becoming a cultural and creative hub. With The English National Ballet and the London Film School relocating their headquarters here. There are numerous shops, bars and restaurants popping up aplenty to welcome, inspire and serve new residents.
