TwelveTrees Park is a large and attractive regeneration scheme in West Ham, East London, in the Borough of Newham. Launched by Berkeley Homes, this transformative development provides 3,800 new homes (studios, Manhattan, 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments), substantial commercial space (retail and office), and 12 acres of new parkland and green spaces. The project brings significant new investment into local infrastructure and is part of a wider regeneration of a predominantly industrial suburb between Stratford and Canary Wharf. Worth £1 billion, the development will be completed in stages over the next ten years.
TwelveTrees Park is a well-connected East London district having West Ham Station on its doorstep. The station is set in the Travel Zone 2/3 and is served by the London Underground, National Rail, and DLR trains.
TwelveTrees Park's residential facilities include a 24-hour concierge, bicycle storage, gymnasium, screening room, residents’ lounge, business lounge, and wellness suite. The neighbourhood will have a new secondary school, a community centre, and an array of independent bars, cafés, and restaurants.
The project was designed by Patel Taylor Architects whose vision is ‘to create a well-connected city quarter with nature at its core – parkland living, with London at your doorstep.’
TwelveTrees Park is one of three major brownfield regeneration projects in London that has been awarded supporting funds from Homes England and the Greater London Authority in 2024.
The development won the best use of publicly owned land in the National Planning Awards 2021.
Local History
TwelveTrees Park is set in the historic, industrial West Ham district in London’s East End. A hamlet on the western border of an ancient parish bounded by rivers Lea, Thames and Roding, West Ham eventually became an important agricultural town in Essex.
Throughout the 18th century, West Ham attracted manufacturing entrepreneurs setting up plants making pottery, bricks, ironware and various chemical products. Most of the factories were set up along the River Lea and its tributaries. In the mid 19th century, West Ham emerged as one of Victorian Britain’s major manufacturing centers for pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and processed foods. The workforce attracted by new job opportunities and housing in the area were immigrants from Western Europe, mainland Britain and Ireland.
In the late 19th and 20th century West Ham ‘became a centre of radical politics and social reform movements such as Chartism and trade unionism.’ It was ‘one of the first boroughs to provide public services such as libraries, parks, baths and schools for its residents.’ During the same period, the TwelveTrees Park site was home to the Imperial Works soap factory owned by 19th-century industrialist Harper Twelvetrees. Harper Twelvetrees was a prominent anti-slavery campaigner and philanthropist.
West Ham became part of the London Borough of Newham in 1965.
Before Berkeley took on the TwelveTrees Park location in 2015, the site had been vacant for ten years, serving briefly as a coach park for the Olympics 2012.
TwelveTrees Apartments
The first private sale apartments in TwelveTrees Park are set within Evergreen Point, a 32-storey tower comprising over 200 new homes. The collection has studios, Manhattan suites, and 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments. Completions are expected in Q3 2025.
Evergreen Point will also house a residents’ gym, screening room, business lounge and 24-hour concierge, along with a local grocery store.

TwelveTrees Park Local area
The neighbourhood of TwelveTrees Park is currently tenanted by distribution warehouses and light-industrial retail. The site benefits from its proximity to the scenic River Lea, which is a short walk away. An important industrial trade route. The River Lea is being reclaimed following investments in several regeneration projects along its course, some of which are linked to the 2012 Olympics area reconstruction.
A short distance from TwelveTrees Park and on the riverbanks is Cody Dock, a vibrant creative community hub fostering a wide range of wildlife research, nature recovery, gardening, and conservation projects.
TwelveTrees Park is set close to the historic Three Mills Island and the wonderful Three Mills Green. The picturesque Green offers a quiet setting to discover the House Mill, the largest and most powerful of the four remaining tidal mills in Britain and a Grade I listed building. There is also the Grade II listed Clock Mill building and The Line, a large collection of outdoor public art on display. Three Mills is London's iconic Film, TV and Theatre production studio.
TwelveTrees Park is adjacent to Bromley by Bow Gasworks, another large regeneration development in East London. The construction of this mixed-use neighbourhood scheme is due to start in 2025.
A great range of amenities could be found at Westfield Stratford City, three DLR stops away. The popular retail center has additional transport options and is the gateway to the Olympic Park, London Stadium and a fantastic range of public fitness and sports facilities.
Transport
West Ham Station is adjacent to TwelveTrees Park and has recently been upgraded with additional entrance access from the development via recently constructed footbridges.
Jubilee line, Hammersmith and City line and District Underground line serve the station linking the development with Canary Wharf, Liverpool Street and Westminster. DLR trains run to Stratford and Canary Wharf and the C2C rail services provide connections with the City and towns in Essex.
Road connections are excellent, with A12 and A11 easily accessible.
Substantial investment into transport is part of a bigger plan to improve connectivity in the Lower Lea Valley and build new, direct links between TwelveTrees Park, and the adjacent communities of Bromley by Bow, Queen Elizabeth Park, Poplar and Canning Town.
‘By 2031, the Lower Lea Valley will experience comprehensive regeneration and redevelopment of former and underused industrial areas. Connectivity will be transformed with a series of new bridges and riverside walkways across the River Lea, and crossings along the A12 and A13, which will integrate existing and new communities in the area.’ Currently the focus is on ‘the stretch of the River Lea at Bow Creek north of the A13 Road Bridge and South of the Twelvetrees Bridge.’
