TfL's £18bn regeneration fund to transform London

Transport for London (TfL) has announced an £18bn regeneration programme aimed at creating 25,000 new homes and 10,000 jobs in east and south-east London. Central to the initiative is a £1.7bn Docklands Light Railway (DLR) extension from Beckton Riverside to Thamesmead. Mayor of London Sir Sadiq Khan described the project as a "massive vote of confidence" in the area. The plans include residential developments, shops, and green spaces, with the first phase already underway. A £23m government grant will also support a new bus route linking key areas.
