Episode Details

Shillibeer House, London’s newest affordable housing project, just opened its doors with 155 council homes — 96 of them already home to formerly homeless families. Built on a former bus garage site, this phase is part of a larger redevelopment aiming for over 40% affordable housing across 461 units, eventually housing 1,200 people. Named after George Shillibeer, the pioneer of London’s first horse-drawn bus service, the development blends modern, energy-efficient flats with community spaces, retail, and workshops — all designed to tackle the housing crisis while revitalizing the neighborhood. Developers see it as a vital milestone, especially in today’s tough economy, offering stability and opportunity to those who need it most.
