Water City is many things: it’s a geographical area; it’s a vision of an east London revitalised for the opportunities and aspirations of the 21st century; it’s a practical vehicle for Olympic legacy; it’s a rebranding of an area so often associated with its deprived industrial and docklands past.

Connecting people, business and places, Water City sits along 0° longitude, the prime meridian, symbolising the area’s global importance.
