Lombard Square

Lombard Square, a major new-build residential neighbourhood by Berkeley Homes, is situated in Plumstead, London SE28, within the Royal Borough of Greenwich’s active regeneration zone. This extensive mixed-use scheme, being developed in partnership with Peabody, is set to deliver approximately 1,900 new homes, contributing significantly to the area’s renewal. The design draws architectural inspiration from traditional mansion blocks, centred around a key feature: a beautifully landscaped, private 1.8-acre Garden Square for residents.

Development Overview

Lombard Square is currently releasing properties across several distinct phases, including Rosa House, Opal House, and Myro House, with upcoming releases such as Fero House. Each residential building features a unique signature interior, with themes inspired by artisan crafts such as woodwork, leathercraft, and tailoring. The development focuses on creating a complete, self-sufficient community, with completion of the wider scheme anticipated by 2025. For investors and homeowners, the development is positioned in Zone 4, offering strong potential for rental yields up to 6.7%, reflecting Plumstead's increasing property value.

The development comprises a variety of 1, 2, and 3-bedroom apartments. The latest pricing indicates competitive entry points for the London market: 1-bedroom apartments are available from £337,500, offering approximately 490–555 sq ft of living space. 2-bedroom apartments start from approximately £455,000, with sizes around 795–806 sq ft.

A local café and supermarket are planned commercial facilities within the development.

Location and Connectivity

Connectivity is a core strength of Lombard Square. Plumstead National Rail and Thameslink Station is located a 5-minute walk from the development, offering direct services to central London terminals. Commute times include approximately 24 minutes to London Bridge (fastest journey) and 40 minutes to King’s Cross St Pancras International.

The surrounding area is well-served by multiple bus routes, including the 177, 180, and 472.

Local amenities benefit from the area's regeneration. Plumstead High Street provides access to independent shops, while the nearby Royal Arsenal Riverside offers a waterside destination with cafés, galleries, and the cultural venue Woolwich Works. For families, the area includes several Ofsted-rated ‘Outstanding’ schools, such as Heronsgate and Foxfield Primary Schools, as well as Charlton Park Academy (secondary).
