KIDBROOKE – CITY POINT: Greenwich, London, UK

Attractions

Central London can be reached in as little as fifteen minutes by train. Whether you’re travelling to the heart of the capital for Oxford Street shopping, West End theatre, South Bank arts and culture, work or leisure, all is easily accessible.

Closer to Kidbrooke Village, there is still more to enjoy. There is Blackheath, whose special character comes from its elegant Georgian streets, village shops and restaurants, and sports clubs that include the oldest rugby and hockey clubs in the country. The huge expanse of heath gives it its name, a high point to climb to as you leave the city centre.

Greenwich is an appealing mixture of old and new. Historic Greenwich, now a World Heritage Site and from 2012 London’s fourth Royal Borough, draws visitors with the Royal Observatory, Greenwich Park, National Maritime Museum, Cutty Sark and the Meridian Line. In contrast, modern Greenwich boasts an eclectic selection of shops, bars, restaurants, riverside pubs and a popular crafts and antiques market.

Greenwich Park will also play host to some of the 2012 Olympics events. The O2 Centre on Greenwich Peninsula has recently been voted the world’s most popular music venue. Under its vast dome, sports, music, theatrical and televisual events take place, with the capacity to accommodate crowds of up to 23,000.

A little further north from Greenwich and you reach, via foot tunnel or DLR, the glittering towers of Canary Wharf, not so much a village but more a mini-city in its own right with a thriving community of offices, shops and bars clustered around the iconic skyscraper dominating Cabot Square.

Linkages

Kidbrooke Village is an integral part of London, and has all the important London connections. It is linked by public transport to the West End, City, Canary Wharf and Greenwich, places of business and leisure, all within easy reach.

This is why the transport interchange at Capital Plaza, the village centre, is key feature of Kidbrooke Village. Trains run from the station to London Bridge, Waterloo East, Charing Cross and Victoria, connecting with London Underground at these mainline stations and the DLR at Lewisham. Buses too leave from the transport interchange for destinations all over south east London, including Greenwich and Woolwich.

For people who prefer to travel under their own steam, there are safe pedestrian and cycle routes running through and from Kidbrooke Village.

The development

There are four integrated yet distinctly different neighbourhoods at Kidbrooke Village. City Point, Blackheath Quarter, Capital Plaza and Meridian Gate all have their own special character and Cator Park will offer a tranquil, green open space in which to relax.

At the moment we are focused on City Point. City Point represents the earliest opportunity to buy into the success of Kidbrooke Village, with the advantage of living next door to Sutcliffe Park, a Green Flag status park and nature reserve.

At City Point, buyers can choose from a range of strikingly designed suites, 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments. Private gardens and open spaces characterise the neighbourhood, drawing the greenery of Sutcliffe Park into the residential areas, and all of the homes at City Point are carefully located to make sure that residents will have the best outlook possible across the park and lake or courtyard gardens.

This seamless integration of new homes and parkland means that City Point has a feeling of belonging to its surroundings from the very beginning.

Outdoors

City Point benefits from the open green spaces of Sutcliffe Park, one of London’s best parks with coveted Green Flag status.

The quaintly named River Quaggy flows through Sutcliffe Park and its lake and wetland areas support many varieties of wildlife including herons, reed warblers, dragonflies or kingfishers. Another feature of the park is the athletics track, recently upgraded with a brand new pavilion, as befits the premier athletics venue in Greenwich. Many homes at City Point have views of this treasured local park, and residents can enjoy it all year long.
