Silvertown sits in the E16 postcode within the London Borough of Newham, tucked between the Royal Victoria Dock to the north and the Thames to the south. For much of the twentieth century it was one of London's industrial heartlands, home to sugar refineries, chemical works, and dock-related trade. The last two decades have transformed large parts of the area: Royal Wharf, one of the largest residential developments on the Thames in recent years, brought thousands of new homes to the former industrial land along North Woolwich Road, and smaller schemes have continued to fill in the dockside perimeter since. The DLR runs through Silvertown with West Silvertown and Pontoon Dock stations both in Zone 3, offering a direct connection to Canary Wharf in about seven minutes. Custom House Elizabeth line station is a short distance to the north, giving faster connections to Paddington, Liverpool Street, and Heathrow. The Silvertown Tunnel, which opened in 2025, provides a new road connection under the Thames to Greenwich. The dominant property type in present-day Silvertown is the new-build or recently completed apartment building: tower blocks and mid-rise developments with building management teams, key-fob lift access, restricted loading bays, and move-in policies that need to be confirmed before any crew departs. Silvertown E16 is outside the Congestion Charge zone. ULEZ applies. We cover this area every day with fixed prices confirmed before you book.

Moving in or out of a Royal Wharf apartment is something we plan in detail before the van leaves the yard. These are large, modern developments with building management procedures that are non-negotiable: the management office needs advance notice, loading bay time slots are often restricted to specific morning windows, and the lift dimensions in taller blocks affect how large items can be moved. If you have a big sofa, a king-size bed frame, or a dining table that was assembled in the flat, these need to be flagged at the quote stage so the crew can plan whether disassembly is needed. Getting this wrong on move day wastes everyone's time and can result in a missed loading bay slot.
Smaller E16 properties on the older residential streets in the Silvertown area, away from the Royal Wharf site, are usually more straightforward: on-street parking, no building management contact needed, and a good loading window on most mornings. The difference in how these two property types are moved is significant, which is why the first conversation with us is always about the specific address and building type rather than just a postcode and property size.
HM Land Registry data shows E16 prices in the Silvertown area rose substantially during the Royal Wharf development phase, with the new riverside apartments representing some of the highest per-square-metre values recorded in the Newham borough. The ONS 2021 Census records Newham as one of the fastest-growing London boroughs by population, with the E16 postcode districts in and around the Royal Docks showing particularly high rates of new household formation driven by dockside residential development.
