The image is a stylised illustrated map showing a suburban area with an emphasis on transport links. It combines dense residential zones with green spaces. In the top left corner, the "River Thames" is marked. Streets and housing are depicted in white with green outlines to reflect greenery. A blue line indicates the transport route, curving through the area with arrows pointing to "Thamesmead," "Gallions Reach," and "Beckton." Circular station symbols appear along the line. Key labels include "Beckton Depot" next to a large outlined building, with directional arrows showing onward connections. TfL Image

This conceptual illustration presents a modern transport scene. A sleek, elevated train travels left to right on a viaduct marked "Thamesmead." Beneath it, a footpath features sketched figures walking and riding scooters. The foreground includes greenery and a body of water, creating a calm setting. In the background, simplified tall buildings form a light-toned cityscape. A blue circular symbol with a horizontal bar, likely a transport logo, appears above. The overall style is artistic and minimal, using muted colours and clean lines. TfL Image

This architectural illustration shows a lively urban setting with wide streets used by cyclists and pedestrians, surrounded by contemporary buildings. A street sign in the foreground reads "Central Way" beside planting and people sitting at an outdoor café. On the left, a vertical sign reads "THAMESMEAD." In the background, tall minimalist buildings are visible, some with rooftop greenery. A red double-decker bus, labelled "Thamesmead 229," travels down the road. Green leafy borders frame the image, and a large round transport emblem sits above the scene. TfL Image

This digitally illustrated scene depicts Beckton Riverside as a modern, well-connected urban area. A central street runs through, with people walking, cycling, and a red bus labelled "262." A cyclist uses a dedicated bike lane in the foreground. Both sides of the street are lined with green trees and sleek high-rise buildings. An elevated pedestrian bridge spans the road, linking footpaths on each side. On the right, a DLR sign and the Beckton Riverside label are shown, along with a sign to "Armada Way." The soft colour palette—greens, blues, and reds—gives the scene a clean, future-focused feel. TfL Image

I had the chance to cycle through the newly improved Mitchell Walk in #Beckton, #Newham. A brilliant piece of work making walking🚶🏻‍♂️& cycling 🚲 much more attractive. New lighting and CCTV cabling makes it feel much safer as well. Excellent work by @JamesAsser and @NewhamLondon.
