Our Vision

Our vision for Stratford Gasworks is to transform an underutilised former gasworks into a sustainable, community-focused and welcoming neighbourhood that combines new homes, green spaces and connections. In doing so, St William want to help deliver the physical legacy of the Olympic Games and contribute to the transformation of the area.

The Site

Stratford Gasworks is a 2.2 acre site situated between Rick Roberts Way and Abbey Lane in Stratford, E15. The site was formerly used by National Grid for the storage and production of gas but has been underutilised for a number of years following the ceasing of these operations.

The site has now been transferred to St William. Remediation works to prepare it for redevelopment are expected to begin in 2027, and you can find the latest information on our Site Updates page.
