Discovering the U.K.
Greenwich
Located on the south bank of the River Thames in south east London, Greenwich is one of
the most historically rich neighbourhoods in London – a UNESCO world heritage site rich in
culture with plenty of things to do. It is popular with tourists due to the draw of sights
available, but offers those living in the area fantastic escapism from the hustle and bustle of
the city. The feel of Greenwich is very “villagey” and safe in atmosphere compared to other
parts of London. It’s an absolutely beautiful place to live with lots of green space and tree-
lined roads.
Housing Market
There is a good selection of property making it popular with people of all ages. Period style
family homes mixed in with converted and new build flats offer a varied selection of choice.

Union, located next door to each other on
Royal Hill are the best examples of lovely
pubs in the area. Greenwich has its own
theatre and two cinemas. The O2 hosts a
variety of exhibition, musical concerts and
sporting events.
