The study area

A prime location…
Unique area of opportunity and regeneration in East London
Relatively underdeveloped area, earmarked by numerous strategic plans as an area of opportunity
Defined by 16 wards, lying within the London Boroughs of Greenwich, Hackney, Newham and Tower Hamlets
Home to almost 200,000 people – 4.2% of London’s total population
Despite strong economic growth in past 20 years, the area still includes some of the most deprived areas in the country
5
In a world class region…
London’s 7.8m people produces 21% of the UK’s GVA (£232bn) and leads the world in a wide range of financial and professional services activities
1.6m people work in financial and business services sectors, accounting for over 40% of the city’s GVA
In 2007/08 the city ran a ‘fiscal surplus’ of £25.9bn and provided 23% of the UK’s corporation tax returns
Home to premium universities within the UK, with international reputations
21% of UK graduates from the Russell Group work in London as their first destination

An area of major investment…
Much investment is underway or planned for East London…
■ Olympics are driving major development in four adjacent areas – Hackney, Wick and Fish Island, northern Olympic fringe, Stratford town centre and Stratford high street, each having masterplans drawn up to ensure development connected to Olympic legacy
■ By 2013 LTGDC will have invested £163m in Olympic Fringe and Lower Lea Valley
■ Investments in land assembly, public realm and economic development will ultimately lead to 15,000 homes and 10,000 jobs in addition to Olympic Park and Stratford City
■ In Stratford, Westfield is a 1.9m sq ft retail centre as a first phase of 13m sq ft of mixed use development, including 4.9, sq ft offices as well as homes, hotels and cinemas
■ South of Olympic Park – significant investment from Tesco, Inter Ikea and Bouygues will deliver new mixed use ‘places’ all linked by the Lea River Park
■ Greenwich Peninsula – 4m sq ft commercial development of which 3.5m sq ft is office space; 10,000 residential units will also be constructed between 2009 and 2021
■ Canary Wharf will remain a key driver for both change in East London and development opportunities – plans for an extension at Wood Wharf, providing 4m sq ft of commercial space and 1,700 homes
■ High speed rail and Crossrail services in addition to underground upgrades will support connectivity
Looking forward

Significant employment potential exists…
130,000 additional jobs by 2030 (inc. Olympic investments and wider investments such as Wood Wharf)
London could benefit from an estimated 282,000 jobs.

Conclusions
Based in a prime location in a leading international city, East London offers sufficient well-connected space to develop and regenerate
The Olympics can act as a catalytic event for the area and current plans have highlighted the opportunity of building on their legacy by providing investment in retail, leisure and office space
The analysis of the planned, but yet uncommitted developments show, there is considerable potential to improve the East London economy, and with it the future growth of London and the UK
Potential for growth East London LondonEmployment (000s) 130.6 282.0GVA (£2005m) £13,412 £21,458
Providing a long-term commitment is made to regenerating the area by following through on planned investments, the London economy could enjoy an estimated additional £21bn of GVA
