When deciding to visit, buy or rent a property in a new place, it’s only natural that safety is one of the first things you will think about.

Combining modern urbanism with community-centred living, Greenwich Peninsula is a self-contained paradise that is ideal for young families, couples and commuters. However, if you are considering moving to the Peninsula, you might be wondering, is Greenwich Peninsula safe?

We are delighted to offer a wide selection of off-plan and ready-to-move apartments to buy and rent at Greenwich Peninsula. Our beautiful apartment buildings have been thoughtfully designed by experienced architects and built using high-specification materials, following all necessary safety protocols, practices and regulations.

We take building safety incredibly seriously at Greenwich Peninsula, and have a rigorous Building Safety Complaints Procedure. If you have any concerns about fire safety, structural failure or the performance of an Accountable Person (individuals or organisations responsible for the common parts of a building), you can follow the procedure and have a formal complaint filed within 48 hours.

In the event that you need to speak to someone urgently, all of our apartment buildings have access to a concierge who is available 24/7. Are you already living in one of our apartments and want to get in touch about building safety? You can contact us in the following ways:

We take a holistic approach to safety at Greenwich Peninsula, consulting a wide range of individuals, organisations and stakeholders to ensure everyone works together to create a safe and thriving community on the Peninsula.

As the developers of Greenwich Peninsula, we work closely with Lee Baron (the property & estate management team), PBM (Managing Agent of Lower Riverside), the security team, local police, the Royal Borough of Greenwich and our residents to continuously review existing safety measures, and understand what is working or what we can improve. Our Community Safety Strategy aims to inform, educate and build resilience:

Inform - We host regular meetings and knowledge shares with the local council, police, stakeholders and members of our community in order to keep everyone updated and aware of safety priorities.

Educate - This will be covered in more detail below but we run several community events each year about different safety topics, with guests from key organisations such as the Met Police or L&Q (a housing association).

Reduce - With everyone informed, educated and aligned on safety measures at Greenwich Peninsula, we strive everyday to reduce the risk of any resident feeling unsafe. 

As mentioned above, part of our safety strategy at Greenwich Peninsula is to provide education and awareness for residents. We have held a number of community safety events over the last couple of years and will continue to run regular events each year.

The events focus on different topics each time and we invite residents, local police and other important organisations. The community safety events offer a brilliant opportunity to hear from our residents about their concerns as well as current safety measures that are working well. We pride ourselves on being able to keep an open line of communication with all our residents.

Recently, we ran a security forum as well as a Community Safety Day that brought together our diverse community for an event focused on enhancing safety on Greenwich Peninsula, with a special focus on reducing violence against women, girls and gender diverse people.

A number of organisations delivered talks, advice, workshops and support for residents, including Neighbourhood Watch, Jujitsu and Housing for Women. According to the feedback we received, residents said they appreciated having the space to speak about their concerns and experiences of safety on Greenwich Peninsula and enjoyed the breadth of organisations present!

"Extreme convenience of local transport links with access to local amenities including coffee shops, grocery stores and an outlet mall. The neighbourhood is well kept and cleaned frequently by staff. While major events are held at the O2, local vendors are great at ensuring minimal disruption to local residents. Great to know in advance how nice the community is. Very quiet and safe." - Greenwich Peninsula Resident at No.3 Upper Riverside
