Silvertown London Map

About Silvertown

Silvertown, a district within the London Borough of Newham, carries the quiet dignity of its industrial past along the Thames' north bank. It lies 9.3 km east of City of London (from City of London: bearing 98°T, OS grid TQ 416 801). The very air here, even now, can sometimes seem to hold the faintest metallic tang, a whisper of the vast sugar refinery that once dominated its skyline, its towering chimneys a familiar punctuation mark against the often-grey London sky. Though the grand industrial edifices have largely receded, replaced by contemporary housing, the spirit of enterprise and industriousness that shaped Silvertown endures, a subtle current beneath the surface of everyday life. The broad, grey ribbon of the Thames, a constant companion, reflects the changing light, sometimes a steely mirror, at other times a shimmering path towards the distant sea, hinting at the global connections that once flowed through this part of London.
