Research with East London communities: Place-based guidance and resources

This practical guide is designed to support more equitable, collaborative research across the seven East London boroughs: Barking and Dagenham, Hackney, Havering, Newham, Redbridge, Tower Hamlets and Waltham Forest.

Developed by Queen Mary University of London alongside community partners and Neighbourly Lab, the guidance recognises and outlines the diversity of East London’s places and people. Whilst not housing specific, it focuses specifically on how to work with local communities, rather than offering generic advice on place‑based research.
