Peninsula Gardens, Greenwich, SE10

Developed by Knight Dragon, within the £8.4bn regeneration masterplan of Greenwich Peninsula’s Design District, Peninsula Gardens is a new development close to the famous O2Arena. Residents also get direct access to Aperture, the community hub featuring a multi-storey gym, shared workspaces, a 24-hour concierge and restaurant.

Despite being located in a Zone 2 neighbourhood so close to the City, the SE10 postcode of Greenwich offers abundant greenery and open spaces. There are over 48 acres of open spaces within walking distance of this development, with a 1.6-mile landscaped Thames pathway.

With North Greenwich Station just a five-minute walk from the development, professionals and university students can reach their offices and universities with ease. Over 10 top-tier universities, including UCL, LSE, King’s College and Imperial College, are within a half an hour commute. Greenwich is also home to over 70 primary and 35 secondary schools.

Even though the peninsula may appear to be an island, it is very well connected to different parts of the City. While the Jubilee Line and Thames Clipper services are easily accessible from North Greenwich, commuters can access the DLR and Elizabeth Line from Canary Wharf, which is just two minutes by Tube.

The Peninsula is also prime for investment, with a 22% price growth forecast over the next five years and gross rental yields of up to 5%.
