Thameside West - an area of the Royal Docks around the new West Silvertown and Pontoon Docks DLR stations - currently houses a number of under-utilised wharfs and areas of industrial land. It is proposed to rationalise the wharves into a single revitalised facility and to release land for new development including housing, school and employment uses.

iCube was appointed alongside Maccreanor Lavington by a client group headed by Design for London to prepared a development framework guiding the planning of the area. The focus of the work was to examine the traffic implications of the wharf; the impact of development on public transport infrastructure; and the interface with other proposals such as the Silvertown Link, a proposed new crossing of the Thames.

The work has established that around 40% of the currently designated strategic industrial land can be released for other purposes and identified a development framework for taking the area forward.
