London Riverside

Proposals for improvements in the area were at first developed by Havering and Barking and Dagenham councils, with a London Riverside Urban Strategy published in 2002.

There is also a London Riverside business improvement district, which covers a smaller area.

[2] From 2004 to 2013 the London Thames Gateway Development Corporation took over planning functions from the local councils for the area.

The original area was bounded by the River Thames to the south and the former A13 road (now the A1306) to the north and stretched only as far west as Barking Reach.

A smaller area constitutes the London Riverside business improvement district.
