Greenwich London area living guide

Greenwich

 

Set alongside the river Thames in south east London, the Royal Borough of Greenwich is one of London’s most historic neighbourhoods. Greenwich is home to the Royal Observatory Greenwich, the Old Royal Naval College, the National Maritime Museum, the Queen’s House and the O2 arena, to name but a few. Greenwich is internationally known for being home to the Prime Meridian, which explains the origin of the term Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

The vista from the hilltop in the centre of the vast and leafy Greenwich Park offers the best natural view of Canary Wharf and the landmark sights of the City of London. Offering a slower-paced lifestyle and yet with these most important business districts are just a short journey away via public transport, property for rent or to buy in Greenwich is some of the most in-demand in the Capital. 

For its royal heritage, contemporary architecture, river setting, sprawling parks and the dramatic vintage viewpoint of the oldest Royal Park overlooking the Docklands and beyond, the Royal Borough of Greenwich has always been a popular place for renters and buyers alike.
