Newham
The London Borough of Newham is a London borough inside east London. It's roughly 5 miles (8 km) east of the City of London, north of the River Thames. The borough was established by merging the former area of the Essex county borough of East Ham plus the county borough of West Ham as a borough of the newly formed Greater London, on 1 April 1965. Green Street and Boundary Road mark the former boundary involving the two. Newham was devised for the borough as an entirely new name. The local authority is Newham London Borough Council.
The borough covers a total area of 13.98 square miles. In accordance with population estimates produced during 2014, Newham is a borough with a permanent population of around 324322 individuals. As outlined by the 2011 Census, Newham has the youngest general population in the country. Transport in Newham is undergoing a significant upgrade, with the completed Docklands Light Railway and Jubilee Line Extension, and new or improved stations at Canning Town, West Ham and Stratford. The Docklands Light Railway was extended to serve London City Airport.
Newham was one of the six host boroughs for the 2012 Summer Olympics and contains most of the Olympic Park such as the Olympic Stadium.
