Morden Wharf in Greenwich, London

Morden Wharf stands as the final piece in the intricate mosaic of Greenwich Peninsula, an area recognised for its two decades of ambitious regeneration, innovative architecture, and socio-economic advancement. Positioned in Peninsula West, Morden Wharf is set to transform the locality with its pioneering design, aspiring to establish a destination characterised by a robust sense of identity, brimming with vitality, culture, greenery, industry, history, and entrepreneurial spirit.

This project reimagines the concept of community space, infusing it with our deep-seated knowledge in regeneration that underscores the importance of a multifaceted mix of uses that are both integrated and interconnected. Morden Wharf introduces an assortment of much-needed residential spaces, alongside cutting-edge workspaces, industrial units, retail outlets, and community amenities, all seamlessly blended into a verdant landscape. This includes a 3.9-acre landscaped public park with 275m of river frontage and a vibrant new public square designed to host a variety of events, markets, and gatherings.

Morden Wharf emerges as a dynamic locale that reawakens the community, offering Londoners a mixed-use development where they can live, work, and thrive. It promises to deliver 1,500 new homes, with 35% earmarked as affordable housing, and up to 20,000 sq ft of community space, including a children's nursery and specialised facilities designed to cultivate a thriving new community. With provisions for communal allotments, age-specific play areas, and landscaped public spaces, the development aims to nurture and promote interaction among its residents.

The project is set to generate significant economic and social benefits, including the creation of over 3,500 new jobs, with more than 2,400 in construction and 1,100 direct and indirect operational roles. The 3.9-acre riverside public park and additional public realms, alongside 200,000 sq ft of commercial space, are part of this comprehensive plan. Moreover, it promises to contribute £42M per annum to the local economy, with over 50,000 sq ft dedicated to retail, restaurants, and the reinstatement of the historic Sea Witch pub among other features.

Reflecting on the site's historical significance, from its industrial heyday to its survival through wartime challenges and eventual decline, Morden Wharf's proposal marks a continuation of its rich narrative. From its initial inspection in 2012, the vision has been clear: to transform this last strategic site on the Peninsula into a beacon of effective regeneration and community value, making it a crown jewel within the borough of Greenwich and setting a new benchmark for mixed-use developments in London.
