Creating communities

Communities that work and grow

The neighbourhoods of the Park will provide residents with a range of homes in an exceptional location that will become one of London’s most celebrated places over the next ten years.

Importantly, these neighbourhoods will include vital community facilities such as schools, shops, places to relax, play and exercise as well as faith, health and community centres – all within easy walking distance.

The stated need from local residents is for real jobs and opportunities to build careers across a range of business sectors.

The Park and its key employment hubs will start to address this need by creating 8-10,000 jobs located in inspiring modern workspaces within an inviting parkland setting.

Imagine being able to walk or cycle for a few minutes to reach your new office, in the shadow of some of London’s best-known buildings, including the 114m ArcelorMittal Orbit.

Picture taking your lunch break in the Olympic Park – using the Aquatics Centre or the Velodrome, nipping to the shops of Westfield Stratford City or enjoying your sandwich by the river.

The Park will be an exciting place that works in every sense, delivering new homes, local jobs and long-term opportunities, all linked to the rest of this global city.
