Construction

Planning permission for the Canada Water Masterplan was granted in May 2020 and since 2021, we’ve been building a new town centre for Southwark. The development is scheduled to complete in 10-15 years’ time. We appreciate that at times construction activity will impact the local community and we’re committed to keeping you updated and managing construction so that disruption in the local area is minimised.

Information on current and upcoming works can be found in our latest newsletter.
