"The largest sound ever heard in London was purportedly from an explosion from Brunner Mond Chemical Works in Silvertown near West Ham, where 50 tonnes of TNT exploded - a blast so large that it blew the windows of the Savoy hotel and almost overturned a taxi in Pall Mall."

What locals say about E16

“Canning town is somewhat overlooked by most buyers, but it has some of the best transport links in London, DLR, Jubilee Line, CrossRail (soon) the Emirates Airline and City Airport - so for access to London it offers excellent value to potential property buyers. And with the new high street, shops, facilities and general improvements (including London City Island.) With a lot of new houses and flats, this can only bring more retail and business to the area, so it's a place to keep an eye on. Zone 2/3 and on the night service, buses to everywhere and the Excel is nearby too so it's a bustling place when any exhibitions are on too. I have also heard that the new properties at Royal Gateway are aiming to become a Borough Market of East London - that would be amazing... ”

“You can gaze over the shimmering water of the great, historic dock in the morning in a five minute walk to the DLR station. There are new restaurants, bars and shops appearing every week and it is fast becoming a bustling young community. Cross Rail is coming and the buzz is growing - it's fantastic.”

“The underground and DLR station is nearby. Also the entire Dockland area starts from here; Holiday Inn, Excel Centre, Cable car, City Airport all are nearby. Co-operative to McDonalds all are here.”
