The Regeneration of Docklands
The regeneration of London’s Docklands over the last 25 years is a story, which continues to attract worldwide attention in academic circles and among those responsible for the regeneration of similar areas in other cities across the world. Day by day we receive many inquiries from those seeking more information about the Docklands story. The transformation of London Docklands was launched in July 1981 by a new government agency, the London Docklands Development Corporation (LDDC). For nearly seventeen years until March 1998 it worked tirelessly to secure the transformation of its area, which stretched across eight-and-a-half square miles of the riverside parts of Southwark, Tower Hamlets and Newham. In its lifetime the LDDC responded to the growing interest through the provision of resources of all kinds but following its winding up in 1998 it has been increasingly difficult to obtain LDDC publications and other historic material about its work. Fortunately the gap has been substantially filled by three former members of the staff of the Corporation who have set up a website – the LDDC History Pages - on which they have reproduced the Corporation’s Regeneration Statement along with the nine monographs published by LDDC towards the end of its life dealing with various aspects of its work: LDDC Regeneration Statement (1998) A Strategy for Regeneration - The Planning and Development Strategy of the LDDC Attracting Investment Creating Value - Establishing a Property Market in London Docklands Employment: New Jobs and Opportunities - The Employment Strategy of the LDDC Regeneration and the Arts in London Docklands The LDDC withdrew from its area by stages and as it left each area it published a booklet with a brief history of the area and of the LDDC's work there. The completion booklets are also reproduced on the website.

Her Majesty the Queen has bestowed the status of Royal Borough upon Greenwich, to take effect in the year of the Diamond Jubilee in 2012.
The rare honour of Royal Borough status was confirmed on Tuesday 5 January in the House of Lords by Lord Mandelson, President of the Privy Council.
Lord Mandelson said: "This rare honour is to be bestowed in recognition of the historically close links forged between Greenwich and our Royal Family, from the Middle Ages to the present day."
He said the honour also recognised Greenwich's global significance as the home of the Prime Meridian, Greenwich Mean Time and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
There are at present three Royal Boroughs: Kensington and Chelsea, Kingston, and Windsor and Maidenhead. They all reflect longstanding Royal associations.
'Wonderful news'
Council Leader, Chris Roberts, was in the House of Lords to hear the announcement. He said: "The residents, businesses and the millions of visitors to Greenwich will share in our delight at this wonderful news.
"Greenwich has always taken tremendous pride in the borough’s long history of royal connections with Greenwich, Woolwich and Eltham. They date back almost 600 years and continue strongly right up to the present day.
"I would like to thank everyone who has backed the borough to receive this honour over many years - especially our many partners in the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site.
"In particular, I would like to personally thank Lord Sterling, Chairman of Trustees at the National Maritime Museum, who has been instrumental in promoting this honour for Greenwich and in ensuring the borough’s many treasures are promoted and recognised by all."
Events for Queen's Diamond Jubilee
Lord Mandelson's announcement in the House of Lords was part of a series of announcements relating to planned celebrations to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee in 2012.
As well as confirming Royal Status for Greenwich, he also revealed that there will be an additional Bank Holiday in June 2012, a Diamond Jublilee Medal will be issued, and a UK-wide competition will be opened for towns to bid for city status.
