Overall happy with my flat. As most of the newbuilds, the quality of materials is not always too notch. I was the first to enter this flat and I have been living for 4 years in it. There are a number of things that have started to fall apart (door handles, taps etc).
On the positive side, the apartment is warm and very bright. The balcony is great as well and the view is really nice. For those having kids, the St. Mary Magdalene school is right across the street.
If you are considering living in North Greenwich I think this is a great choice.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
Very close to the school and about 7 mins to the tube. Quiet area and lively view of the park.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Nothing in particular.
What is the best feature of your home:
The view and the big windows. On sunny days it is a pleasure to sit in the balcony
Beautiful and peaceful place to live
The area is modern and design oriented, the facilities and home fitted appliances are all of high quality. The management team is responsive, and doing a good job, although I haven’t contacted them much. I always feel lucky and satisfied about the decision to buy a property and live here. It would be even more beautiful if there is more greenery and flowers.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
Like the community gym, central park, near the river, the tube station, and the O2 with plenty places to eat, shop, and have fun. Dislike lack of a big supermarket.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
service fee is quite high
What is the best feature of your home:
I love every bits of my home, all the fitted appliances are of good quality that I enjoyed using them.
Good
Easy access to city, good build quality, but a bit of a building site at the moment. O2 can be busy when you get back from work but never hugely disruptive, bars are ok, driving range is good. Nice to be surrounded by the river
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
Concierge and gym with most tenancies, but still a lot of construction around
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
How many community events there are in the park and by the O2, they are really good, things like markets etc
Good area for families
This is a good area for families because of the green spaces and all places that people can take kids to. We also have a lot of friends in this area so we get to meet them often and have playdates. It is close to Greenwich so that’s a plus
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
Green area, O2 likes
Dislike. No supermarket very close. Charlton not too close

Clean and comfortable and safe for kids.
Clean and comfortable and safe for kids. However, our service charge goes up dramatically enough every year that it will probably prove to be a money pit in the end. You’ll also not have your own water heater and will be trapped paying £30 a month plus actual usage to Loka. Three years in, we’re only just starting to be billed accurately. If not for their mandatory 10 year contract with new owners, they would not be able to sustain a customer base.
Please tell us what you like and/or dislike about this location:
Easy access to the rest of London via the Jubilee line, but the actual local shops are out of town style sheds that are incredibly unpleasant to access as a pedestrian. More often, I get the tube one stop to Canary Wharf to run errands.
Please share one thing (or more) that you wish you had known before you moved in:
I wish I’d realised it was a bad idea to be locked into a contract with an energy company that isn’t beholden to OFGEM rules. Also just how unpleasant the walk to the shops would be–we were rushed into placing a deposit due to the London property market.
So much to do
There are so many things to do already on the peninsula and I am excited about everything else that is to come. I was bought up in Greenwich and then rented for a few years in the Millennium Village before moving up the peninsula closer to the North Greenwich tube. I love it here and wouldn’t live anywhere else – I am hoping to get some space in the new design village for my studio.

Great investment
I was drawn to buying here as it is in Zone 2, and Help to Buy is available – otherwise it wouldnt be possible! The future development plans are exciting, and I think it will be a great investment for us. I am renting in Oval but on the Peninsula it feels like there is more of a community developing. It’s also a great place to go running being so close to the river is amazing and being here you can run right around The O2, it’s so quiet and peaceful so it feels like you could be anywhere in the world and we can’t wait to move here.
