London has seen plenty of regeneration in recent years. Many areas once considered unappealing have found a new lease of life. Canning Town, in East London, perhaps epitomises the rebuilding process more than most, thanks to an investment of 3.7-billion pounds.
The Canning Town and Custom House Regeneration Programme, which started in 2012, will see the construction of 10,000 new homes and two new town centres in the area. Its appeal to young professionals continues to grow.
Along with new homes and amenities, Custom House features a stop of the Elizabeth Line, while Canning Town hosts a tube station located on the Jubilee Line.
