Prominently placed at the centre of Lewisham; Greenwich, Blackheath, and Deptford are easy to explore from Arden and Frankham Walk. Lewisham is a creative hub enjoying the benefits of a thriving regeneration period. To the north of Lewisham is all the excitement of Deptford. Local micro-brewery, Villages Brewery, is nestled into three railway arches, highlighting the area’s rich industrial heritage. Inspired by the multicultural community, eateries serve everything from Tapas to Caribbean food – there is something to satisfy every tastebud.

Greenwich is the perfect place to experience village charm, filled with shopping streets, artisan stores and a popular market. The Royal Observatory, Cutty Sark and National Maritime Museum provide an opportunity to get lost in the history of the area. The O2 arena is a must-visit destination with a schedule packed full of concerts, comedy shows, and sporting events. Capturing iconic views of St Paul’s Cathedral, Canary Wharf and beyond, Greenwich Park is home to a small herd of deer, as well as a range of birds and wildlife, effortlessly blending nature with the metropolitan.

Blackheath Common provides 211 acres of grassland and heathland. Renowned as the starting point for the London Marathon, the space hosts community events ranging from fireworks to music festivals. Day to day, this is a great spot to slow down and unwind, or work on your fitness in the miles of open space, fly kites with the kids, or go for a walk with friends.

For buyers hoping to enjoy culture, creativity and community, Peabody’s new homes are the perfect place to enjoy the buzz of Lewisham all year round.
