Greenwich Peninsula Reviews “Fantastic quality build. Very modern feel to the apartment with nice touches, such as Siemens appliances, underfloor heating, Villeroy & Boch sanitary installations etc. Efficient concierge service (never had a package rejected and always get a text reminding me to collect shipments from the office). Typical residents’ gym that is kept clean and generally well-looked after. Another ‘cool’ feature of the development is laundry lockers, where you can leave your clothes to be collected and delivered back by a dry cleaner.”  Verified Resident, The Norton

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.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

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’a best landmarks just a short walk away.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Prior to moving in, I wish I had known more about parking alternatives for family and friends on event days at the O2 as it has been quite difficult to facilitate this at times.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Building management staff have been quite responsive to problems or issues which I’ve raised. They have been prompt and helpful where able.

When you live in Greenwich next to the river and the Greenwich Ecology Park it doesn’t feel like full on city living and instead I have the best of both worlds.

I rented in Greenwich Millennium Village and loved the area so decided to pool resources with my girlfriend and purchase a one-bed flat in 2015. We had been to launch events before and underestimated demand so we missed out – this time we got there early and queued for hours to reserve out flat! The flat has been great as my neighbours in are all very friendly and we often chat in the lifts.

When you live in Greenwich next to the river and the Greenwich Ecology Park it doesn’t feel like full on city living and instead I have the best of both worlds. My commute is easy which was important to me as I can walk and avoid the joys of rush hour! Buses are on my doorstep and the convenience to the Jubilee line, and the ability to get anywhere in London quickly.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

I don’t know what it is like post brexit but the peninsula is popular

Great place to live, terrible after sales care

The development of Upper Riverside is pretty ‘designer’ and obviously a lot of thought has gone in to it. The interiors are really up market and fits the overall design, definite a premium feel. Sometimes feels a bit too much like a hotel in the communal areas rather than a homely feel but just takes getting used to. The facilities are really awesome, and you see why you pay the high service charge. The property management is good on one side, concierge in Building 2 is great, friendly. Customer services on the other hand are abysmal, often taking over a week to respond on basic queries, very often having to chase up multiple times. It’s almost as though they think they’ve sold you the property and their job is done, needs improvement. Lastly something needs to be done about this extortionate charge on parking permits, mine was damaged and they want £90 to replace it, when there was a premium for the parking space, and service charge already on top of that.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

North Greenwich had a perfect blend of modern amenities and convenience to get around and plenty of open space for fresh air. It’s nice there isn’t too much in the manner of traffic. The area around the development itself is comfortable and feels pretty safe, and looks good. Transportation is naturally fab, just a minute or two walk and you can connect to central London or other great places.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

To be prepared for frustration when dealing with head office and customer services. Some of the worst response rates ever so develop a thick skin.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Very slowly, and issues still not fully resolved. A lot of stock answers and no understanding at all.

This is THE development if you are a working professional

Fantastic quality build. Very modern feel to the apartment with nice touches, such as Siemens appliances, underfloor heating, Villeroy & Boch sanitary installations etc. Efficient concierge service (never had a package rejected and always get a text reminding me to collect shipments from the office). Typical residents’ gym that is kept clean and generally well-looked after. Another ‘cool’ feature of the development is laundry lockers, where you can leave your clothes to be collected and delivered back by a dry cleaner.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

The area is very quiet. There is a nice waterfront walkway that starts at the Thames Barrier, takes you along the west side of Greenwich Peninsula and round the O2 with amazing views of the river and Canary Wharf. Some selection of shops across the road and a more extensive range of food and entertainment facilities at the O2 (10-min walk). Your nearest large-ish supermarket is Waitrose at Canary Wharf, so probably best to have your groceries delivered. North Greenwich station is a 10-min walk away, so you can be at Canary Wharf in under 15 mins and in Central London in 20-30 mins. Of course, the Jubilee line is very efficient with frequent services, all of which either call or terminate at North Greenwich, and you do benefit from the Night Tube too. Maybe not too many schools, parks and family-oriented places in the vicinity, so the area is much more well-suited to working professionals rather than families with children.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Only that I wish I found the place sooner (not very least due to the fact that the prices in the area have increased quite drastically).

Great development in a rapidly developing area – maybe too rapidly!

The development itself, design-wise is great, though with one issue. Whenever it gets very windy – a common occurrence for this area as it is riverside – the bedroom window emits an irritating noise whenever it is closed. I contacted property management for this, and although they helped locate the source of the problem, I understood it was to do with the design of the building and the weather conditions of the area. Having a more durable architectural solution to deal with this issue would help.

The facilities I have gotten to use so far, mainly the gym and the pool are all great. The weights room at Building 2 does get busier than expected at times and could be slightly more spacious, but the gym equipment is terrific and the floor is fine. The rooftop terrace is beautiful. I like being able to use the tables on the ground floor of each building to work at times, too. I have yet to try the cinema room but like what I have seen of it and look forward to trying it out when we can actually have friends over again!

Otherwise, the design of the building and the homes are state-of-the-art and kept that way. They’re really taken care of well, and with love – it really shows!

Building and property management are great. They always respond promptly to issues and are very willing to help.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

The existing restaurants, bars, cafes and open spaces are great. I just wish there was a wider range outside of the O2 shopping mall as well. The supermarkets, however, are inadequate for the area – their products aren’t of great quality and their stock and range are small, as they are small supermarkets. Having a large supermarket with an expansive range of products without having to travel to Charlton or other parts of Greenwich would be very helpful.

As to transport links, no complaints there. Living here is great for that.

Traffic noise hasn’t been terrible but does sometimes exist. Some weekends I can hear car and pedestrian noises around 1-2 am which isn’t great. I do live on the second floor of my building though so I guess that’s inevitable.

Construction noise is a bit of a problem, both regarding noise and visual pollution. Sometimes it gets to the point where I have my headphones on for much of the day as a result.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

The shortage of supermarkets within the area. I’ve shopped for groceries more from Charlton or other parts of Greenwich than here!

How crowded the Jubilee line can really be – as good as it is for getting from one end of the city to another…

What is the best feature of your home:

I adore the interior design of my flat, from the open plan kitchen to the living room. It’s both spacious and pleasing to the eyes.
