This transformation began around 2010–2012 with the redevelopment of the former St Andrews Hospital site adjacent to Bromley-by-Bow Underground station.More recently, the neighbouring Stroudley Walk site has been comprehensively redeveloped. The former 1960s precinct-style scheme has been replaced by a predominantly residential development incorporating commercial premises and community-focused public spaces. Known as Upper East, the development has recently been completed and has further enhanced the local streetscape and amenities.
