East Wick
East Wick and Sweetwater are the second and third new neighbourhoods to be built on the Park.
Overview
East Wick is being delivered in several phases, and together with the planned new neighbourhood of Sweetwater further south, forms a new neighbourhood with over 1,850 homes. East Wick consists of 4 phases (Ph1, 2, 3 & 7) whereas Sweetwater consists of 2 phases (Ph4 & 5).
LLDC entered into a Development Agreement in 2015 with East Wick and Sweetwater JV (Balfour Beatty Ltd and Places for People) to deliver this new neighbourhood.
Vision
Vision
East Wick will form a neighbourhood of approximately 1165 homes, including family, affordable and private rented housing, framing the edge of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. It forms a connection between the already established communities of Hackney Wick and Fish Island. It will draw on the energy of this creative and cultural hub to the west and will be an important enterprise and creative district building with strong links to higher education and business at Here East. A core ambition is to stitch the neighbourhoods into the wider context, delivering far more than just houses.
The development will continue this tradition, and as an Olympic legacy development, set exemplar standards for design, residential quality and sustainability. East Wick will become a new family-friendly neighbourhood that is centred around a series of public spaces linked by a diagonal pedestrian route that connects Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park
to Hackney Wick.
“London is the work of many hands” – a phrase which has been quoted throughout the design and development of East Wick and Sweetwater to repeat our ongoing commitment to the wide range of approaches, architecture, design and style that the project could reflect.

East Wick is the name of a new neighbourhood located in the north western part of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, referred to as Planning Delivery Zone 5 (PDZ5). East Wick Phase 1 was granted Reserved Matters approval in February 2017 and Phase 2, 3 and 7 were approved in 2021.
Phase 1 sits between the River Lee Navigation and Hackney Wick to the west, Here East to the north, the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park to the east and Copper Box to the south. Phase 2 is located fronting the primary route of Waterden Road to the west and will form a new part of the neighbourhood adjacent to East Wick Phase 1. Phase 3 will continue development along Waterden Road and the park front.
The East Wick neighbourhood will contribute to the legacy transformation of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park creating a new, diverse and vibrant part of East London.
East Wick Phase 1 is complete and all 302 units have now been sold or let. Phase 1 also includes workspaces, community facilities, creating a place that combines the best of city living in one neighbourhood.
