Greenwich - a gem in south east London

Greenwich is a unique corner of south east London, where you can enjoy a beautiful riverside, explore one of the city’s eight Royal Parks, soak up centuries of military history, and take advantage of excellent transport links nearby.

In the heart of the neighbourhood, there are strong historic ties to the Royal Navy, showcased by the Old Royal Naval College, while its merchant navy connections are highlighted by the iconic tea clipper, the Cutty Sark, standing proudly above the area’s charming period homes. As you travel further towards the Greenwich Peninsula, along the cobbled Ballast Quay, you’ll find the Trafalgar Tavern, a well-loved pub ideal for a post-work drink set among elegant Georgian-style villa townhouses. Further down the Thames Path, you’ll come across several contemporary developments with balconies offering breathtaking river views all the way to Canary Wharf. Close by are the peninsula’s main attractions, from the famous riverside golf range to the iconic O2.

Greenwich is perhaps the most fortunate London towns when it comes to the various modes of transport, which in turn is one of the major reasons why people chose to call the area home. Transport links are excellent, with the Jubilee line providing fast access from North Greenwich to both the West End and the City, while the DLR and mainline train stations are located in the heart of the area. On the eastern side, the IFS Cloud Cable Car offers a scenic ride across to Royal Wharf, and because it’s part of the TfL network, you can simply tap in and out with your Oyster card!

As one of London’s eight Royal Parks, Greenwich Park provides just under 180 acres of green space, packed with landmarks and activities, from the Royal Observatory and the Prime Meridian to its picturesque flower gardens. It’s also the starting point of the London Marathon and a popular setting for music festivals throughout the year. Just beyond the park lies Blackheath, another local favourite with its independent coffee shops and grand green spaces.

Property in Greenwich is diverse and often traditional. You will find that most of the new build developments are on the newly regenerated peninsula, such as Enderby Wharf, whilst the town is where the Georgian and Victorian historical properties are situated.
