Greenwich Millennium Village, Modern residential complex in Greenwich Peninsula, England
Greenwich Millennium Village is a modern residential complex on Greenwich Peninsula containing over 1000 housing units across multiple buildings with different architectural styles. The development sits near the O2 arena and mixes residential spaces with green areas throughout the site.
Construction began in 2000 on the former East Greenwich Gas Works site as part of the national Millennium Communities Programme. The project transformed an industrial area into a contemporary residential neighbourhood.
The residential community centers on a freshwater park where residents spend their days walking and relaxing among green spaces. This green area shapes daily life here and creates a natural setting within the urban landscape.
The development is well connected by a direct entrance to North Greenwich Underground station, with several bus routes serving the area. Visitors can walk through the site easily and find good views of the surroundings from various spots.
The buildings use specific construction methods that reduce primary energy consumption by 80 percent compared to standard housing. This energy-efficient design was pioneering for its time in demonstrating sustainable residential construction.
