Property Search

Area Overview

Greenwich is located in South East London and lies along the south bank of the River Thames,  between Deptford and Thamesmead.

Greenwich is a UNESCO World Heritage Site which is world famous as the home to Greenwich Mean Time and the Meridian Line. The Cutty Sark and The Royal Naval College can also be found in Greenwich.

Despite having a vibrant, bustling town centre with an excellent range of shops, restaurants and bars, Greenwich has managed to retain a village feel and old world charm.  Quirky independent stores and boutiques nestle amongst historical buildings and visitor attractions, and as a result the streets are buzzing with tourists all year round.
