Greenwich

Maritime heritage, royal parkland and contemporary riverside living.

Where maritime history, grand hilltop parkland, and modern Thames-side architecture meet.

Greenwich offers a sense of openness that comes from having both the curve of the River Thames to the north and the rising lawns of the Royal Park to the south. Its streets combine early-Georgian townhouses on the hill with contemporary riverside apartments along the Thames path.

In the riverside quarter, converted brick wharves and modernglazed residences take full advantage of wide water views and west-facing sunsets. Up the hill, quiet conservation streets preserve centuries of domestic architecture.

Whether commuting by river boat or spending weekends among the park’s chestnut avenues and local covered market, residents enjoy a distinct coastal-in-the-city atmosphere.
