London’s future

Creating a new district for London and beyond

With Old Oak Common Station bringing connections across the UK and beyond, a varied blend of industry, jobs and housing, and deep roots in the existing diverse community, Old Oak and Park Royal is the next chapter in London’s regeneration story.

Global opportunities, made local
Old Oak and Park Royal - where world‑class opportunity sits alongside everyday local life.

A place to call home

A new part of London where families, young people and people from all backgrounds can put down roots. Walkable streets, local high streets, parks and squares - a place that offers opportunity but still feels like home.

Built on connections

HS2’s £1.7bn Old Oak Common Station will link directly to Heathrow - the world’s most connected airport - and to major centres of business, research and innovation across the UK. Central London, the City, the Barts‑to‑Oxford innovation corridor and other national hubs will be right on the doorstep.

An economy powered by innovation

A district where people can access world‑leading jobs, skills and education. Home to Imperial - one of the world’s top universities and Park Royal, London’s largest industrial estate, where local makers supply global brands. A unique mix of cutting‑edge research and homegrown enterprise.

A truly global identity

A place where cultures, languages and ideas from around the world come together - reflected in its food, film, arts and creative industries. Outward‑looking, but unmistakably local.
