West Ham Area Guide & Local Information: West Ham is in the London Borough of Newham and was part of the former territory of Ham until its division in the 12th century. The River Thames marks area boundaries to the south and the River Lea to the west. West Ham borders Poplar and Bromley-by-Bow, resurgent Stratford, and Canning Town in Docklands. Following the Metropolitan Building Act in 1844, West Ham underwent rapid growth and became one of the major manufacturing centres in Victorian Britain.
As a result, today's West Ham consists of a combination of Victorian and Edwardian terraced houses with later additions of modern and new build developments. In recent years, many new family homes have been constructed in the area, drawing young families and first-time buyers looking for value for money. In addition, there are several recreational parks, including West Ham Park. Places like Royal Victoria Dock are just a stone's throw away. Barking Road offers excellent basic shopping facilities, pubs, and all types of dining, from British pub food to Caribbean and Indian cuisine.
Westfield Stratford City is nearby, offers over 250 shops, and is one of Europe's largest urban leisure and shopping centres. West Ham has excellent transport links, with West Ham station on the District and Hammersmith & City lines in zones 2 and 3. In addition, regular Jubilee Line and DLR services connect Canary Wharf from West Ham Station.
West Ham is probably most famous for its football team, West Ham United. They played at Upton Park from 1904 to 2016 when the stadium took the name The Boleyn Ground. West Ham now plays football matches in the London Stadium, within Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. In recent years, Barratt Homes acquired and redeveloped The Boleyn Ground into Upton Gardens, a modern development of luxury homes and apartments.
