The Story of Greenwich Peninsula
Tap into London’s undiscovered neighbourhood. We’ve taken 150 acres of land all wrapped by 1.6 miles of the river Thames and are transforming it into a new community for thousands of people.
We’re creating a place where the community comes first, art and inspiration are (literally) on every corner, whilst creativity and design run through everything we do. Our vision for Greenwich Peninsula is to create a place that inspires people to explore, keep coming back and make a home here. We are new London.
