Home Buyers Survey Silvertown

Silvertown's housing is predominantly from the modern era: it has been continually redeveloped variously because of a notable explosion, the blitz and regeneration schemes.

There are still 'survivals' from the 20th century – landmarks such as Georges (sic) Diner and the Graving Dock Tavern still stand, just about, even if they are disused. Some of the factory buildings still standing date back to the Victorian era such as some of those related to the K-S and W Warehouses and the Tate & Lyle sugar refinery.

Modern developments – and there are many, both already built and in the pipeline – include the riverside Royal Wharf flats development (3,385 units) and the Millennium Mills. /div> Greater London is an area which contains London, the capital of the United Kingdom (which itself centres on the Cities of London and Westminster) and a number of surrounding boroughs which are administered as London boroughs and which are the overall executive responsibility of the Mayor of London. It contains a large number of constituencies, each represented by an MP and it should be noted that these are not the same as nor even always continguous with the borders of the boroughs.

Many parts of Greater London were originally administered by the counties which surround London and these counties are often called the home counties. Enfield, for example, used to be classed as being part of Middlesex, but is now near the northern border of Greater London. Greater London's borders often coincide with a zone of 'green belt': areas where it has been decided that open spaces, parks, forests and wildlife reserves should act as a buffer against urban sprawl. London has numerous landmarks, anything from Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament to Karl Marx's grave in Highgate Cemetery.

Greater London contains more than 9 million inhabitants, a number growing daily, and as this is approximately 1/7 of the population of the UK, it can be seen that Greater Londoners have a large influence on the rest of the country politically and this is enhanced by the concentration of skilled workers gravitating towards the capital.
