Peabody’s Plan for Thamesmead describes our long-term (30-year) vision and mission in the area. It looks at what we want to achieve between, 2018 and 2023, outlining our approach to transforming the neighbourhood, and setting five goals to achieve.
Our goals are: improve the lived experience, create growth and regeneration, improve the quality and use of the landscape, make great culture part of everyday life, and support people to be happier, healthier, and wealthier.
Together with our partners at the London Borough of Bexley, Royal Borough of Greenwich, Greater London Authority and Transport for London, we are driving forward the regeneration of Thamesmead.
We are well-placed to deliver the regeneration. As one of London’s oldest housing associations, we are putting our 150 years of experience into making a lasting contribution to the cultural, physical, environmental and economic wellbeing of Thamesmead.
Over £1 billion is being invested in the town, making Thamesmead not only the biggest regeneration project in London but one of the biggest in the UK. Almost 50 years after the first residents moved to London’s new town, Thamesmead's full potential can now be realised.
As new developments and transport links arrive in Thamesmead they will bring with them new shops, leisure facilities and jobs that a thriving town needs.
Peabody has a 30-year plan for Thamesmead to realise its potential.
