Moving to Greenwich
Greenwich literally sits in the centre of the world. At least if you consult a map that is what you will find. Those who created the system of latitude and longitude used by sailors and pilots to navigate their way around the globe defined the observatory in Greenwich as the zero line or prime meridian from which all longitudes are measured. The city itself sits southeast of the City of London.
River thames Greenwich
The area has the advantage of sitting on the river Thames and having a great park to escape to when it is time to relax. The fact that there is no underground stop in Greenwich is an appeal to some people because it gives the area a psychological disconnect from the hustle and bustle of London life. The area has three cinemas and two theatres, so one does not need to venture too far to be entertained.
Transport in Greenwich
While there is no metro line leading to Greenwich, there is a very reliable commuter rail that makes regular stops to the city centre. Three to five trains run through the city each hour arriving at Charing Cross, London Bridge, and Cannon Street. For those who prefer the scenic route to get to the city, there is a riverboat that runs up and down the Thames.
Property in Greenwich
Generally speaking, property values in Greenwich are more affordable than one would expect for a prominent London suburb. This is one of the many reasons it is so popular. One can purchase Georgian and Victorian townhouses for between £600,000 and £1.6 million. Smaller terraces can be purchased for between £275,000 and £670,000. Even more affordable flats can be acquired for between £175,000 and £275,000. The best locations are those that are closest to the main park.
While there are plenty of places to call home in the London area, many prefer the warm environment of Greenwich. Zero just happens to mark the spot on the map when it comes to one of the most popular locations to call home in the UK.
