Hallsville Quarter is one of the largest London town centre regeneration projects, a partnership between Linkcity and the London Borough of Newham. This project forms part of the £3.7 billion Canning Town and Custom House Regeneration Programme.
The scheme is being delivered over five phases and will provide approximately 1,100 new homes, 30,000 sq.m / 322,917 sq ft of retail and leisure accommodation, new pedestrian links, cyclist provisions and 1,100 parking spaces.
After successfully opening Phases 1 and 2 of the development, Hallsville Quarter is now an active location, benefitting from a high level of footfall, partly supported by the 12 million annual footfall at Canning Town Station (opposite).
Phase 3 is currently underway, and the first phase completes in July 2023. This phase brings a further 620 new homes a new large food store, additional retail accommodation, and a 3-screen boutique cinema.
This is an exciting and brand-new neighbourhood in the heart of Canning Town which is already exceptionally busy and set to grow as the last three phases complete.
