Overview

London Square Woolwich: A Modern Revival in London’s Historic Naval Heartland

Set within a 4.49-acre site at Grand Depot Road (SE18), London Square Woolwich is a massive £25 million urban regeneration project by London Square (an Aldar company). Serving as a cornerstone for the transformation of the Royal Borough of Greenwich, this landmark mixed-use development brilliantly bridges the area's historic naval roots with modern high-density living. The project is designed to alleviate the capital's housing shortage while revitalizing the high street, delivering over 700 new homes alongside a vibrant new public square that integrates shops, offices, and green spaces. At its pinnacle is a stunning 15-storey signature tower featuring an exclusive collection of 122 private apartments. For the modern professional and savvy investor, this development offers a premier opportunity to secure a home in one of London's fastest-connected and most culturally dynamic neighborhoods.

A Lifestyle of Wellness and Urban Convenience

Designed for modern city living, London Square Woolwich integrates an exceptional array of premium amenities with the town center's redesigned civic and cultural spaces. Residents live at the nexus of beautifully revitalized public hubs, including the landscaped "urban garden" of General Gordon Square and the historic Beresford Square.

Premium Services: A 24-hour concierge service to assist with daily needs, key holding, and deliveries, alongside a dedicated co-working lounge with Wi-Fi and a stylish ground-level residents' lounge.
Rooftop Escapes: A beautifully landscaped communal rooftop terrace offering panoramic views of the River Thames and the City skyline.
Health & Fitness: Access to a fitness studio, secure cycle storage (218 spaces accessible via a dedicated cycle lift), and integrated EV charging stations. A new, large urban leisure centre is also expected to open directly across from the development in summer 2025.
Culture & Retail: Immediate access to major retailers, the daily Woolwich Market, and Woolwich Works—a premier cultural venue for music and theater located within the historic Royal Arsenal riverside complex. The scheme itself also introduces 18,405 sq ft of new commercial space to the town center.
