About Newham

Newham is the home of the multi-purpose London (formerly Olympic) Stadium home of West Ham United FC; the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park is home to venues for Sadler's Wells, the Victoria & Albert museum, the BBC, and the Abba Voyage Arena; and Westfield Stratford City, the largest urban shopping and leisure destination in Europe.

In the South of the borough there is the development of the Royal Docks, the home of the Greater London Authority, which has seen an expansion in licensed premises and events, from Formula E to Dockyards, a brand new waterside open air location in the heart of East London, and the Beams, a Centre for New Culture.

The ExCel Exhibition Centre is also being expanded with a brand new Eastern extension increasing the venue's total event space by 25%.

Newham benefits from having a very diverse community with an extremely busy and varied events schedule that serves both local and the wider communities in the region, including the oldest faith based street procession in the UK, and a diverse licensed sector of around a thousand premises including a flourishing night time economy.
