Old Oak
Old Oak, a reimagined west London community, where global opportunities are lived and shared locally.
Old Oak represents one of the most important regeneration opportunities in the UK.
The masterplan comprises two new neighbourhoods: Old Oak Town Centre, a major new town centre and innovation district, and the Canalside Neighbourhood, a residential-led neighbourhood fronting onto the Grand Union Canal. Together, they will create a new urban district for West London.
The regeneration is expected to deliver 8,000 new homes, across a mix of types and tenures, including affordable homes. New workspaces, alongside carefully woven public realm and community amenities, will shape a thriving community where people feel part of something vibrant, rooted and with opportunity.
Anchored by the new Old Oak Common station where High Speed 2, the Elizabeth line, the Great Western Mainline and Heathrow Express all intersect, Old Oak is soon to be one of the best connected transport hubs in the country.
The regeneration will strengthen physical and social connections between Old Oak and established communities in Harlesden, Park Royal and North Acton to create a strong sense of place built on the character of these surrounding areas.
Project highlights:
- 31 hectares of brownfield land
- Approximately 8,000 new homes, including affordable
- Up to 200,000 sqm of commercial and community space
- High quality public realm and green space including two new parks and approximately 1km canal improvements
OPDC will soon be seeking a Private Sector Partner to establish a long-term joint venture that will shape and deliver a new urban district at Old Oak.
