Mapping Newham's Important Places

As part of the Newham Characterisation Study, we wanted to know more about the places and spaces that make your neighbourhood feel like home. 

You shared with us: local landmarks, parks and greenspaces, community groups or facilities, high streets and businesses.

This mapping tool was created to allow Newham residents from across the Borough to share the places special to them and their communities.

We are now gathering your responses. Results will be shared in the New Year.
