East Ham

One of the densest independent high streets in east London, and it runs a long way.

The retail here is overwhelmingly independent and specialist rather than chain-led, and it runs the length of High Street North and High Street South. That length is the practical problem: a customer told only that a business is in East Ham has been given most of a mile of shopfronts to choose from, and the two halves of the street do not feel the same or trade the same.

The civic set pieces are precise and well dated. East Ham Town Hall was built between 1901 and 1903 and opened by Passmore Edwards on 5 February 1903. The Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene dates to the first half of the 12th century, and the nature reserve in its churchyard is the largest of its kind in Greater London. Central Park on Central Park Road and Plashet Park on Plashet Grove are the two largest parks in the area, and East Ham Underground station is served by the District and Hammersmith and City lines.

The name is one half of a deliberate pair. It derives from the Old English hamm, meaning a dry area of land between rivers or marshland, and East Ham is first recorded as distinct in 1204 as EstHam. Nine centuries later the distinction still matters commercially, because West Ham is a separate place a short distance away whose name is now dominated by a football club, and because Green Street, which forms the boundary between the two, is a retail destination in its own right with its own page here. The 2011 census recorded a population of 76,186 for East Ham.

The high street runs a long way, so we name your end of it and the nearest fixed point rather than leaving a customer to walk it.

Naming the high street is not the same as naming where on it you are.

High Street North and High Street South are one continuous run of shopfronts, and a customer will not walk it to find you. Ongoing SEO is monthly work on three agreed searches like these.

  1. 01
    “barber east ham

    The area search, which covers the whole length of High Street North and High Street South and therefore does not tell a customer which end to walk to.

  2. 02
    “restaurant high street north

    The northern stretch specifically, which is a different run of premises from High Street South and is how people who know the area describe it.

  3. 03
    “garage e6

    A postcode search covering East Ham and Beckton, so the site has to say which it means rather than relying on the postcode to separate them.

Examples only. The three searches are agreed with you around the work you want more of and what people on the high street actually type. Nobody can promise a position, and we don't.

Two ways to start on the East Ham high street.

A professional website, or that website with ongoing SEO from the start. Both name your stretch of High Street North or High Street South, because the street is far too long to name on its own.

East Ham industries

Independent retail and services along a mile of shopfronts.

A barber on High Street North and a garage off Plashet Grove both trade in East Ham and are found completely differently, because the high street is long enough to be two catchments.

We aim to have your first website draft ready within 5 working days once PrimeStart has everything needed and confirms your project is Ready to Build. Payment alone doesn’t start the clock; missing details, revisions or domain delays can extend it.

You review the draft and request reasonable in-scope changes. If there’s a genuine problem we can’t put right within scope after reasonable attempts, we can cancel the agreement and refund Website subscription payments made, subject to any disclosed non-recoverable third-party costs.

Questions

Questions from East Ham businesses

Do you build websites for businesses in East Ham?
Yes, for the independent shops, restaurants, trades and services along High Street North, High Street South and the E6 streets around them. Everything is designed, built and managed remotely, so there is no office to visit.
Why does the site need to say which end of the high street we are on?
Because the run of shopfronts here is long, dense and continuous, and a customer searching the area name gets all of it. Naming High Street North or High Street South, or a fixed point like East Ham Town Hall or Central Park, is what turns an area into a place someone can walk to.
Are we the same as Green Street or Upton Park?
No, and the distinction is worth making on the site. Green Street runs along the boundary between East Ham and West Ham and is a retail destination of its own; Upton Park is the district around the station. Both have their own pages here, and directories often file East Ham businesses under one of them by mistake.
We already have a website we like. Can you just do the SEO?
No. SEO is not sold on its own any more — it is only available as part of Website + SEO, £349.99 a month in total, and that means building you a new PrimeStart website rather than adding search work onto the one you have now. A business on High Street North would be starting from the same place as everyone else here: a new site built around the trade, with the SEO work running from day one rather than retrofitted onto what already exists. Nobody can promise rankings, and we don't.
What does an East Ham business website cost?
Website is £49.99 a month with a £0 upfront design fee, and it costs the same in E6 as anywhere else. The first £49.99 is taken at signup, and there is an 18-month minimum term, £899.82 in total. Once that term is complete, the website is yours.
How does ongoing SEO work?
Website + SEO is £349.99 a month total, with the website included rather than charged on top. Each month we work on three agreed local searches, for example "barber east ham" or "restaurant high street north", alongside your Google Business Profile and the website itself. Nobody can promise rankings, and we don't.
Is this the same as the Green Street page?
No. The Green Street page is written about Queen's Market, the boundary between East Ham and West Ham and the ground at the southern end of that street. This page is written about High Street North and South, East Ham Town Hall, St Mary Magdalene and the parks.
