The Greenwich Peninsula ward in Greenwich, London sits on a pronounced bend of the Thames just east of Canary Wharf. It is dominated visually and economically by the entertainment complex at The O2 and is served by North Greenwich station on the Jubilee line and the Emirates Air Line across the river, making it a well‑connected riverside neighbourhood.
Once an industrial and gas‑works site, the area has undergone large‑scale regeneration with riverside housing, new parks, cultural venues and creative workspace alongside ongoing debates about affordable housing and community change. The mix of contemporary towers, reclaimed green space and the Thames Path gives the ward a striking contrast between its industrial past and its rapidly evolving cultural and economic present.
