Chobham Manor Residents Association

About Chobham Manor

Nestled beside the iconic Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in East London, Chobham Manor is a vibrant community of 880 homes within the London Borough of Newham. This diverse estate offers a rich blend of living options, including townhouses, duplexes, and low-rise flats, catering to leaseholders, freeholders, shared ownership, and housing association tenants alike. It is a place where community spirit, green living, and modern conveniences blend seamlessly to create a place we are proud to call home.

A Green Oasis in the Heart of the City

Chobham Manor is a green haven in the urban landscape, featuring 360 trees and beautifully mixed plantings that create a serene environment for its residents. The community is also home to three young children's playgrounds, adding to the family-friendly atmosphere. One of the estate's most cherished projects is the burgeoning orchard, lovingly tended by residents under the guidance of Neil Sinden, showcasing the community's commitment to green living.

Community and Care

The roads within Chobham Manor are privately maintained, with all residents contributing to a service charge that ensures the grounds and estate are kept in pristine condition. Since welcoming its first residents in 2016, Chobham Manor has blossomed into a fully developed estate, thanks to the dedication and care of its community.

The Chobham Manor Residents Association has been an integral part of the community since its inception, addressing concerns and fostering a strong sense of unity among residents. This proactive approach has helped shape Chobham Manor into the thriving community it is today.

Safeguarding the Olympic Legacy

Chobham Manor was built by Taylor Wimpey, with L&Q, one of the country's largest Housing Association Property Landlords, managing the leaseholder blocks and estate grounds. This partnership underscores the commitment to quality and excellence that defines Chobham Manor. Read more about the history of the estate on our blog.

Membership Drive

We are running a campaign to increase our membership to a level that would enable us to apply for formal recognition.  A move that would bring us benefits and controls that would enable us to have a formal say in the future of the estate.  Presently we have a say but it’s at the discretion of the LLP and L&Q and we would like to formalise this.  

We need another 90 members to reach this threshold, this is the reason for the membership campaign. 

To encourage new members a voucher to be spent at Suela’s cafe to the value of £30 will be awarded to a randomly picked new member each month until March.     

We are not forgetting existing members.  In January and February three existing members (three each month) will be randomly chosen from the membership list to receive a voucher to the value of £15 for either Charles Bakery or Bridget’s Cafe.  

If you are speaking to a neighbour here are a few FAQs:

• How to join: Its really easy just fill out the form https://www.chobhammanor.org/join-us 

• Is there a cost? No

• Does it require any work or effort on the member’s part? No, but we do welcome residents getting involved if they wish

• What are the benefits?  To be honest the residents association operates on behalf of all residents on the estate, regardless of membership so we support our neighbours anyway.  We are hoping that residents would find a way to sign up to membership to help us reach the legal threshold.

• Who does this apply to?  It apples to all residents on the estate whether Housing Association or Private Tenants, Shared Owners, Leaseholders or Freeholders.

We do hope that you can help, and fingers crossed that you are a winner of one of the vouchers
