Info

Canning Town is a district in the West Ham area of the London Borough of Newham in East London, England.
It is situated in the area of the former Royal Docks on the north side of the River Thames. It is the location of Rathbone Market. Despite being a neighbour to many affluent Dockland developments, Canning Town remains among the 5 per cent most deprived areas in the UK with many long term residents suffering from poor health, low education and poverty.
The area is undergoing significant regeneration as of 2012. According to Newham borough council: 'The Canning Town and Custom House Regeneration Programme includes the building of up to 10,000 new homes, creation of thousands of new jobs and two improved town centres. This £3.7 billion project aims to transform the area physically, socially and economically.'
