About Beckton
Beckton is a suburb in East London, situated eight miles east of Charing Cross, within the London Borough of Newham. Historically marshland, it transformed in the 19th century with the establishment of industrial infrastructure, notably the Beckton Gas Works and Sewage Treatment Works, which spurred population growth and housing development. Since becoming part of Greater London in 1965, and especially during its time under the London Docklands Development Corporation from 1981 to 1995, Beckton has seen significant residential expansion and improved transport links, including the Docklands Light Railway. This evolving landscape makes Beckton a notable area for planning applications related to both residential and commercial development.
