Queen Mary University Mile End Campus
Welcome to the engagement page for the Queen Mary University Mile End Campus Supplementary Planning Document (SPD).
Haworth Tompkins are working in partnership with the London Borough of Tower Hamlets to develop a new masterplan for the Queen Mary University campus in Mile End. The masterplan will be adopted by the Council as a Supplementary Planning Document to inform the development of the campus and to ensure that proposals are aligned to the interests of the local community and stakeholders. It will also take into consideration the area surrounding the campus, including the campus’ relationship to the Mile End Hospital, the Regent's Canal and Mile End Park.
