Royal Arsenal Riverside

Royal Arsenal Riverside is a significant new build development by Berkeley Homes, positioned on a prime stretch of the River Thames in the historic Woolwich area of the Royal Borough of Greenwich, London SE18. The development is a large-scale, ongoing regeneration project, with the latest available phases situated within the West Quay Collection, including Galley Wharf, Sailors Wharf, and Lantern Wharf. The development is designed to integrate a thriving residential community with extensive retail, leisure, and transport infrastructure.

Development Overview

The masterplan encompasses the delivery of over 5,000 new homes in total, with various phases of apartments and riverside residences. Berkeley Homes, a developer with a reputation for high-specification luxury and complex regeneration projects—including the conservation of 23 Grade I and Grade II listed buildings on the site—is leading the scheme. Current availability focuses heavily on two-bedroom apartments, though one-bedroom and three-bedroom units, including townhouses and duplexes, have also been released throughout the development. Prices for the final collections of two-bedroom homes in phases such as Galley Wharf and Sailors Wharf currently range from approximately £600,000 to £950,000. Specific three-bedroom apartments in the Imperial Building have been marketed with a guide price of £800,000.

Property Details

Apartments are designed with floor-to-ceiling windows to maximise natural light and often feature private balconies or terraces, with some enjoying direct, uninterrupted river views. Interior specifications include high-quality integrated designer appliances, and some units feature wine coolers. The properties offer two luxury bathroom suites in the larger homes and a focus on fitted storage. Secure underground parking is available with selected properties, offering a practical amenity for residents.
