Welcome to Greenwich

When people think of London, certain images come to mind. Certainly, there are various iconic landmarks which spring up but beyond that, the impression is of a city that is as fiercely modern as it is busy. And neither of these things are negatives by any means.

The modernity is part of what makes the capital so very exciting, providing so many opportunities to people from all walks of life. The same thing goes for the crowds. There is, after all, a very good reason why so many people want to be here. However, these also come with sacrifices. Busy can sometimes mean crowded, and modern can mean that some of the charm of its heritage is lost amongst all the progress. However, what if you didn’t have to compromise?

Greenwich probably doesn’t look like what you imagine London to be in 2020. However, that’s to its credit. This is an area which has managed to maintain all the character, architecture and intrigue that comes with having such a fascinating past, without losing anything in the way of opportunity or modern convenience.

By the same token, it manages to provide all this while also having some of the most gorgeous natural spaces anywhere in the country, not just the capital. Often people think that when moving to London, they have to sacrifice such attractions for the sake of living in such a pragmatic, forward-thinking part of the UK. But Greenwich, and the likes of the stunning Riverfront, Greenwich Park and World Heritage Site Maritime Greenwich, among many other examples, prove otherwise.

There’s perhaps a no better example of the intersection of all the benefits Greenwich boasts than its town centre. This retains its historical character while also providing a mix of modern and classical culture through its Georgian and Victorian architecture, market, museums and theatre.

And with all that Greenwich offers, there’s still more, as there’s nothing historical about its cutting-edge transport links. These serve the area through London via the National Rail, London Underground, cycle routes and even via boat. Greenwich is a place which isn’t satisfied with compromising, providing a perfect mid-point between the charm, experiences and space of a historical town, with all the opportunity of the capital.

What is Shared Ownership?

Shared Ownership is a government scheme that allows buyers to purchase a share in a property, usually between 10% and 75%, while paying a reduced market rent to a housing association on the remainder. The scheme gives first time buyers and those that do not currently own a home the opportunity to purchase a share in a new-build or resales property.
