Thamesmead Festival 2026

This is Thamesmead

Welcome to Thamesmead – a unique town with a unique story.

Built in the late 1960s and hailed as the town of tomorrow, it’s now home to 47,000 people and the population is growing. 

Peabody is working together with local people and partners to regenerate the town. By 2050, more than 100,000 people will be proud to call Thamesmead home.

This is a place of growing opportunity. A town where you can create something new, get closer to nature, be part of a community, and put down roots.

Come and see what's happening here.
