New homes and communities

Highlights of the year

We’re currently “on site” building 282 new homes in south London – a mix of rented and low cost home ownership.

Twenty-nine of the new homes we delivered last year are in Lewisham at Silwood Street – bringing the total number of homes we have in the borough to 336. Alan House provides 16 shared ownership homes, and Rowan House provides 13 social rented homes. These 29 affordable homes, funded by Wandle with grant support from the Greater London Authority (GLA), are only a 10-minute walk from South Bermondsey and Surrey Quays station, with direct links to the city.

Wandle resident, Helen A said, “My home is peaceful and safe. I have recently moved to Rowan House with my children after we previously lived in a hostel for seven years. It was cramped and not ideal, so it is wonderful to now have the space to relax and make a home.”

In 2026/27 we’re on track to deliver 186 new homes, and provide quality, affordable homes to hundreds more south Londoners.
