About Greenwich & Greenwich Peninsula

Greenwich is the rare London neighbourhood where the historic core is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Old Royal Naval College, the National Maritime Museum, the Cutty Sark, and the Royal Observatory at the Prime Meridian sit within Greenwich Park's 183 acres of royal parkland — a panoramic ridge that delivers one of the city's most photographed views. Around the heritage core, Greenwich town centre is a working high-street neighbourhood: Greenwich Market for crafts and food, Royal Hill for independent shops, and the cluster of historic riverside pubs from the Trafalgar Tavern to The Cutty Sark. The residential streets climbing toward Blackheath remain among inner London's most desirable family addresses, anchored by outstanding state primaries like Halstow and a strong selection of independent schools. North of the park, Greenwich Peninsula is one of the largest urban regeneration projects in Europe. Anchored by The O2 Arena, the master-plan is delivering 17,000 new homes, the ICON Outlet, the Design District for creative industries, and the Peninsula Ecology Park. The Jubilee Line's North Greenwich station offers a 17-minute ride to Bond Street, and the Elizabeth Line at nearby Custom House is a short bus or DLR connection. For investors, Greenwich combines heritage market resilience with new-build Peninsula supply at yields meaningfully above prime central London.
