Peabody development gives residents access to 'London's biggest back garden'

At a staggering 240 hectares, homeowners at Peabody’s development in Thamesmead, Southmere, can enjoy the equivalent green space of four of London’s Royal Parks combined giving them access to London’s biggest back garden!

Put to scale, the green space available across the iconic Thamesmead area totals more than Kensington Gardens, Greenwich Park, St. James’s Park and Green Park combined, and as the first major phase of Peabody’s Thamesmead regeneration, Southmere offers a chance to buy in one of the capital’s most exciting landscapes.

With the health and well-being benefits of living near outdoor space well documented, Peabody are proud to launch a collection of Shared Ownership apartments, giving first-time buyers the chance to move to a development that offers an abundance of lakes and canals all within 11 minutes of the city and beyond thanks to the newly opened Elizabeth Line.

Andrew Peglau, assistant director of marketing, brand & PR at Peabody comments, “Living in a city can often come with the drawback of limited green space, but buyers at Southmere have the rare opportunity to buy a home surrounded by parklands whilst still being a quick commute from central London.”

Cygnet Square, a brand new public area, will soon become home to commercial spaces, a fitness studio and a cafe, while The Nest - a new library and community centre - is due to launch in the coming months.“

A rarity for a Shared Ownership development, residents will have access to impressive facilities, offering exclusivity and value for money. A home at Crane Court includes access to an exclusive podium garden, and homeowners will benefit from purpose-built amenities including a concierge service, residents’ lounge, meeting rooms and workspaces opening early next year.

All amenities further support the well-being of residents by providing a space to escape, focus and socialise. A communal bicycle storage on the ground floor also encourages residents to explore the local landscape on two wheels.

Offering a unique opportunity to benefit from the capital’s newest transport route, residents can travel on the Elizabeth Line and reach Canary Wharf in just 11 minutes, Liverpool Street in 17 minutes and Tottenham Court Road in 23 minutes. This adds to the existing transport connections which link Abbey Wood to the rest of London.
