We’re proud to announce that Newham Council has been shortlisted for the prestigious Landscape Institute Awards 2025 for the Royal Docks Corridor project. The project is shortlisted in the ‘Excellence in Public Health and Wellbeing’ category
5th Studio led design work for a partnership of Newham Council and the GLA’s Royal Docks Team to transform the street environment along Silvertown Way and North Woolwich Road. These works have now been successfully delivered by Newham’s highways team, and represent an exemplary new public realm, drawing on the Mayor of London’s Healthy Streets principles.
The work follows on from our overall connective strategy: the Royal Docks Public Realm Framework (2020) and Design Guides, establishing a golden thread between large scale strategy and delivery on the ground.
The design work was developed in close collaboration with Newham Council’s highways team and the Mayor’s Royal Docks team, Our design team included Alan Baxter (public realm and highways advice), Jonathan Cook Landscape Architects and Studio Dekka (lighting).
