Brunel Street Works
Key Details
Overview
Brunel Street Works is a mixed-use quarter in Canning Town, London E16.
Brunel Street Works, developed by Opal, a joint venture partnership between Thames Valley Housing, Galliford Try and Fizzy Living, has 975 homes and a range of mixed uses for Canning Town.
New Homes
The innovative housing mix is split evenly between private rent, private sale, and affordable housing, including 30% family housing across all tenures.
The new homes were for sale through Linden Homes.

Shared Ownership apartments are available through L&Q.
New Homes For Rent

Hotel
The development includes a 152-key Premier Inn London Docklands (Canning Town) hotel.
Public Realm Improvements
Brunel Street Works provide four new public spaces for residents and the local community, linked by an enhanced public realm along Silvertown Way creating an inviting pedestrian journey. The ground floor of the new development will be activated by a wide range of mixed uses facing Silvertown Way, including cafes, a hotel, restaurants, a food store, and employment space for the emerging creative sectors.
Architecture
JTP led a collaborative design process with GRID and Cartwright Pickard; each of the three practices brought a unique character to their building within a selected palette of materials, resulting in a series of distinct but complementary buildings, set within four character areas that respond to the changing context of the site from north to south. Each building takes inspiration from the site’s history and proximity to the Thames Iron Works and Ship Building Company, creating the architecture of longevity with robust, high-quality materials.
Heartwell Buildings by Cartwright Pickard will include generous entrance lobbies with 24/7 concierge welcoming residents who will have access to a high-quality landscaped and sheltered roof terrace, with exceptional views across London. Accessed from communal internal areas such as a residents’ lounge, private dining rooms and cinema room, these facilities will become a social focus that will support a real sense of community for residents.
Castalia Building by GRID is at the southern end of the site, facing the new public park. The base of the building contains a double-height commercial space, which GRID has identified as a potential new south-facing café to spill out into the park. Cantilevered above this, the building’s stepped form in plan responds to the geometry of the site and creates 105 dwellings.’
