Beam Reach is a redevelopment area in London, England and part of the London Riverside section of the Thames Gateway. It is located in the southern part of the London Borough of Havering, next to the River Thames and the River Beam. The London Development Agency owns the land in the area and promotes it for intensification of manufacturing companies, to complement the nearby commercial and residential redevelopment areas. The A1306 road forms the northern perimeter and the A13 road runs through the site east to west. Havering London Borough Council propose that a station should be built in the area, to be served by c2c trains. Beam Reach is the location of Centre for Engineering and Manufacturing Excellence.
Famous quotes containing the words beam and/or reach:
“What do we plant when we plant the tree?
We plant the ship that will cross the sea,
We plant the mast to carry the sails,
We plant the planks to withstand the gales—
The keel, the keelson, and beam and knee—
We plant the ship when we plant the tree.”
—Henry Abbey (1842–1911)
“Democracy! Bah! When I hear that word I reach for my feather Boa!”
—Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
