The London Development Agency has commissioned Thames Gateway London Partnership to undertake the research and development phases for the Creative Industry Hubs proposed for Stratford and the Lower Lea Valley , and for Barking.

It is intended that the hubs will offer a range of support service and facilities particularly targeted at smaller and newer companies and at cultural entrepreneurs in the BME business community. Ten hubs are planned across London . Four of these have locations within the Thames Gateway London area and these can be explored using the navigation on the left.
