Manor Road Quarter
is the latest new community of homes and businesses created in the heart of Canning Town
This website will provide you with regular updates on the construction of Manor Road Quarter, offer you information on employment and apprenticeship opportunities; and share news about our community activities.
Update: April 2024
On 18 July 2023 London Borough of Newham approved phase 2 of our plans. These changes will improve access through the proposed area, and improve access to the linear park.
You can find more information on our phase 2 amendments here.

Duration around 1 minute
Work commenced on Phase 1 of Manor Road Quarter in October 2021, with substantial progress now being made.
Manor Road Quarter is being constructed by English Cities Fund and our sister company, Morgan Sindall Construction.
Phase 1 will provide 355 homes, of which 50% will be affordable.
Manor Road Quarter will offer a mix of residential and commercial space, and a high-quality public realm including a 1ha linear park.
It will make a major contribution to the exciting development of Canning Town, coming not long after English Cities Fund's completion of the Rathbone Market scheme a short distance away.
Site progress October 2023
We are connecting with the community in Canning Town by engaging with local people, community groups and representatives throughout the project.
At English Cities Fund, we are committed to contributing to the community, including skills, training and opportunities for local people.
