Lombard Square

Development Overview

Lombard Square is a large-scale, mixed-use residential development located in Plumstead, London SE28, within the Royal Borough of Greenwich. The project is being delivered by Berkeley Homes, a developer with a strong industry track record, having been named the UK's number one homebuilder for build quality by HomeViews with a score of 4.15 out of 5, and achieving a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 80.2, significantly exceeding the sector average. The masterplan draws architectural inspiration from traditional London mansion blocks and is set to feature approximately 1,500 to 2,000 new homes upon full completion. The first phases of the new build homes are expected to be ready for occupation from 2025, with over 70% of the initial properties already sold.
