Silvertown is a district in the London Borough of Newham, in east London, England. It lies on the north bank of the Thames and was historically part of the parishes of West Ham and East Ham, hundred of Becontree, and the historic county of Essex. Since 1965, Silvertown has been part of the London Borough of Newham, a local government district of Greater London. It forms part of the London E16 postcode district along with Canning Town and Custom House.
The area was named after the factories established by Stephen William Silver in 1852,[1] and is now dominated by the Tate & Lyle sugar refinery and the John Knight ABP animal rendering plant.
A £3.5billion redevelopment of part of the district was approved in 2015.[2]
