On Greenwich Peninsula, a uniquely modern
area of London is emerging that harnesses an
inventive spirit to create a truly forward-think-
ing neighbourhood. The £8.4 billion investment
in the Peninsula is forging an entirely new
community and a creative blueprint for the
London of the future.
Combining cutting edge design with a vibrant
cultural scene in a setting of wide-open skies and
sweeping river views, it’s a community with both
creativity and relaxation at its heart. Wrapped by
the majesty of the Thames and only one stop from
Canary Wharf, Upper Riverside is one of seven
integrated and distinctive neighbourhoods that
are rising up across the Peninsula.
From the entrepreneurial creativity of the
Design District bordering the green swathes of
Parkside, to the buzz of Peninsula Central with
its boutiques and renowned restaurants, to the
elevated garden walkway known as The Tide that
connects it all – this progressive London destina-
tion will inspire a new concept for urban living.

While Hackney and Peckham continue their
ascent as London’s über cool hotspots, Green-
wich Peninsula has quietly laid the foundations
for an ever-evolving creative scene. Born from
a fierce independence, it’s a community that
thrives on the unknown and on its people being
that little bit different.

Five shimmering glass towers look over the water not
in opposition but in possibility. This is Upper Riverside, the
latest striking addition to London’s skyline, designed by
globally renowned architects SOM, with elegant, undulating
angles that nod to the shifting surfaces of the River Thames.
The tallest of the family of buildings at Upper Riverside, No.5
sits at its North Eastern edge with dramatic views down river
towards the gleaming steel of the Thames Barrier.
While the family of five buildings share an architec-
tural relationship inspired by the proximity to the water,
the interiors have each been envisaged by a different
design practice. Designed by Knight Dragon, No. 5 takes
direct reference from The Thames and its shifting shore-
line through their use of colour, shape and texture.

The five sleek towers are intersected by roof
terraces cascading down to the water’s edge.
Here, landscape gardens provide seated terraces
amongst reeds and mature trees. Around the
sunken garden, designed in collaboration with
London architects Neiheiser Argyros, pavement
cafes and restaurants provide a buzzing social
space for this new community.
The whole neighbourhood is intersected
by The Tide, a garden walkway designed by
New York High Line’s creators Diller Scofidio
+ Renfro in partnership with award-winning
landscape architects GROSS.MAX. Walk
along timber decked-bridges onto planted
stepping-stones, through native trees and
giant sculptures while contemplating on
the surrounds at one of the mediation points
designed by BeBox.

Home to a burgeoning collective of pioneer-
ing individuals united through creativity, Green-
wich Peninsula has emerged as one of London’s
distinctive new riverside districts. Helping map
out the future in this progressive neighbourhood
is an interwoven eclectic mix of original think-
ers – from designers and architects to artists and
crafts people.

Around this vibrant riverside quarter a new
London is emerging. Surrounded by vast skies
and open waters, the Peninsula is a place with
creativity at its heart – a community that encour-
ages individuality rather than predictability.
Each of the neighbourhoods on the 150-acre
Peninsula is distinct yet complementary. A short
walk from the Marks Barfield designed NOW
Gallery is the heart of the community, a new Design
District where workshops, studios and labs for over
1,800 London creatives are housed in avant-garde
buildings. Here on the edge of the Central Park,
you’ll find a collective of artists, designers, crafts
people and new technology pioneers united by
a shared creative spirit and supported by afforda-
ble workspaces.
This new community will connect with
nearby Ravensbourne University that special-
ises in design, fashion and media. It continues
in the footsteps of other artists who have been
inspired by the unique waterside urban setting.
Damien Hirst lived on the Peninsula in a rented
cottage near the Pilot pub where he made his first
medicine cabinet. His two towering brass sculp-
tures Hydra & Kali and Mermaid stand overlook-
ing the Thames alongside other works including
Allen Jones’ Head In The Wind. Joining them are
artworks of The Line, London’s first contempo-
rary art walk featuring Gary Hume’s Liberty Grip.
Hume’s impressive brass sculpture is one of
many artistic riverside landmarks along The Tide,
the artistic garden walkway and popular cycling/
jogging route that will soon wrap the whole neigh-
bourhood. With its distinctive striped pattern
emulating the ebb and flow of the Thames, the
open terraces along the walkway are scattered
with grasses, wild flowers, and silver birch trees.
Dotted along here are some of the OPO medita-
tion portals designed by neuro-sonic soundscape
pioneers BeBox.

Walk east past Antony Gormley’s huge
abstract sculpture Quantum Cloud, another of
The Line’s attractions, and you’ll find The Jetty.
This floating community garden/greenhouse is
home to HEJ Coffee Roastery and a great little
cafe with the sounds of boats chiming in the
breeze adding to the relaxed vibe. Further along
the riverside are the wetlands and hides of Green-
wich Peninsula Ecology Park one of London’s
most tranquil spots.

The botanical hub of creativity and wellbe-
ing of The Jetty contrasts with some of the Penin-
sula’s more refined eating options. Next to each
other on the ground floor of Upper Riverside
you’ll find Ardoa, the latest concept from the
Vinothec Compass team, offering small plates
from the Basque region and The Market Table,
a new dining room and deli ran by John Barton.
Founded and helmed by Chef Stevie Parle and
designed by Tom Dixon, Craft’s rooftop bar with
360-degree views and a lovely terrace continues
the seasonal theme of the restaurant with classic
cocktails using natural ingredients.

Damien Hirst’s seminal 1988 group exhibition,
Freeze, was staged a little to the west of the Penin-
sula, in Surrey Docks. His works that appear around
the Peninsula formed part of his Treasures from
the Wreck of the Unbelievable exhibition, which
was staged in Venice in 2017. For this exhibition he
created the mythical, nautical sculptures that told
the story of an ancient shipwreck, the Unbelievable
presenting the works as its salvaged cargo.
The first two works to be installed from this
exhibition are Hydra & Kali, a 17-foot-high sculp-
ture depicting the Hindu goddess fighting a many-
headed serpent and Mermaid, a bronze of a more
familiar mythical figure. Over the coming months
several other works from Hirst’s 2017 show will be
installed here.

The 81-year-old artist is best known for his
highly sexualised pop-art sculptures, which
have inspired such luminaries as director Stan-
ley Kubrick and the Japanese fashion designer
Issey Miyake.
Head in the Wind is a site-specific work
commissioned for and inspired by The Tide.
It takes its name from a much earlier piece by
Jones made in 1959 years when he was a student
in London. Visitors and residents are invited to
both observe and interact with the vibrant, paint-
ed-steel piece from above and below for a differ-
ent perspective on this huge artwork.

Heather Peak and Ivan Morison of
Studio Morison create public works to
improve the environments where people
live and work. Whether it’s a new library
or a landscape for a school their work is all
about finding ways that we can meaningfully
reconnect with our nation’s wild-places.
Back in the spring of 2019, Heather and
Ivan charmed Peninsula visitors and resi-
dents with their NOW Gallery show, The
Mouse and his Child, which was inspired by
the cult children’s book of the same name.
The studio’s whimsical, artisanal, all-in-
clusive fun continues, with the installation
of a 27m long picnic table, which will sit
along the riverside inviting the community
to come together through public BBQs and
pop up events.
The award-winning designer and artist Morag
Myerscough’s has always lived in London and is
fascinated by how colour, pattern and words can
change urban environments. She has transformed
public spaces such as schools and hospitals as well
as town centres by creating engaging experiences
for the community.
Visitors to the Peninsula might recognise her
work as Morag’s Studio Myerscough created the
Colourblock Cranes, used to frame the construc-
tion of the Upper Riverside neighbourhood. Now
Morag and her team have turned their attention to
The Tide’s arches on either side of the walkway,
bringing warmth and illumination through her
signature super graphics.

The Thames is an imposing ever-chang-
ing confluence, expansive and dynamic with ever
changing colours and a shoreline that reveals new
materials at each tide. In their concept for the inte-
riors at No 5, our designers have taken inspiration
from this in their use of both colour and texture.
The river’s influence can be seen through-
out the interiors of No.5 with light and dark gravel
like textured tiles bringing to mind the shore as
it is revealed. Tonally darker in design than the
other family of buildings at Upper Riverside, No.5
uses muddy tones to further evoke the might of
the Thames.

A coffee lounging on the modish furniture on the sun deck or a Manhat-
tan in the residents lounge, the club lets you wind down as well as work up
a sweat. neighbours meet in the sleekly designed lobbies to plan the day
ahead or get creative in the co-working spaces where ideas become reality.
A striking feature of the architecture of upper riverside, the cascading terraces
offer much more than commanding river views. once part of the community you’ll
find yourself using the expansive terraces for everything from lunchtime meetings
to outdoor Yoga classes and impromptu bbQ parties with new friends.
