A complete guide to property investment in Greenwich Peninsula.
Last updated: 18 September 2025
Greenwich Peninsula stands out for its high concentration of young professionals and degree-educated residents, with both groups in the very top percentiles nationally. The area is dominated by private rentals, with owner-occupation unusually low even by London standards; this reflects a transient, aspirational tenant base. Investors will notice a strong average rental yield of 6.0%, which is robust for London, and a high rent-to-income ratio of 42.3%, indicating strong rental demand relative to local incomes.
Despite these positives, recent capital growth has changed by -0.7% over one year and by -5.0% over three years, suggesting that price appreciation has been muted. The median price per square foot is £718 per sq ft, which positions the area firmly in the premium bracket for London. Liquidity is moderate, with properties taking an average of 114 days to sell, and annual sales volume at 126.

Looking ahead, Greenwich Peninsula continues to attract young, highly educated professionals, and the private rental sector is likely to remain dominant. The strong rental yield of 6.0% and high rent-to-income ratio of 42.3% suggest that rental demand should stay resilient, even if capital values remain subdued. Investors should be aware that recent capital growth has changed by -0.7% over the past year, with a three-year annualised change of -1.7%, so expectations for short-term price gains should be modest.
The area’s premium pricing — such as a median sale price of £662,498 for a three-bedroom house and £600,000 for a two-bedroom flat — means that affordability will remain a challenge, but this is typical for central London. Liquidity is reasonable, with properties taking an average of 114 days to sell, but investors should keep an eye on any shifts in demand that could impact sales times or achieved prices. Overall, Greenwich Peninsula offers stable, income-focused returns in a market shaped by a young, professional tenant base.
