Gill Street

Gill Street is a broadly triangular site in Limehouse, located beside the railway viaduct carrying the Docklands Light Railway between Limehouse and Westferry stations. The site currently contains a derelict portacabin formerly used as a community centre and extends south to include amenity and open space behind Trinidad House and Grenada House. The proposed redevelopment will provide a ground-plus-five-storey residential building, together with amenity and play space, cycle storage, servicing and landscaping. The site is bordered by the railway viaduct and established five-storey residential buildings.
