Our residents are the heart of Greenwich Peninsula, and their experiences speak volumes about what it’s like to live here. Here’s what some of them have to say:

Lower Riverside Resident

“We decided to buy here within a few hours of visiting and have now been in our apartment for almost a year. We love the light and space and our neighbours have all created their own uniqueness within their homes - it certainly doesn't feel like a development of identical properties.

I work in our study area in the evenings or on grey days, but when the sun's shining, I sit at the dining table so I can look out on the view.

I travel a lot for work so the easy transport links to the city or airport works for us and we enjoy everything the area has to offer or just popping to Borough market together at the weekend.”

Upper Riverside Resident

“The Upper Riverside development has everything you need in one place. It bears two well-equipped and well-staffed gym areas, inclusive of a pool and steam room. This is great for a daily detox. I’ve also really enjoyed the amenities such as the multimedia room where I’ve been able to enjoy nights in with friends and family. The buildings are well managed with 24-hour concierge assistance and the life-saving Hub service.

Greenwich Peninsula is the perfect location. You have a real sense of a community, a food and shopping outlet on your doorstep and some of London’s best landmarks just a short walk away.”

The gym is a fantastic facility, having a gym in our building is also really handy if you’re in a rush. The pool and main gym is luxurious and feels like you are in a high end hotel! Management is very professional and friendly, and we always feel welcome into the building."
