Untitled - The Gramercy
Greenwich is where East meets West; where the old and the new exist happily alongside one another. This unique blend of modernity and tradition, historic buildings and contemporary architecture, gives Greenwich a special atmosphere that is both vibrant and relaxing, and draws together the best of country life and city dwelling. Family Mosaic is pleased to present this new development gracing the tree-lined streets of Greenwich. Set in the heart of this vibrant area, only moments away from the historical quarter and within easy reach of central London, The Gramercy Greenwich is the royal borough’s newest address. O N The Gramercy Greenwich acknowledges the area’s history while bringing it into the modern day with vibrancy and flair. N O 03 PAG E Designed by award-winning architects BPTW and delivered by market-leading housing provider Family Mosaic, a mixed-tenure developer specialising in building high quality homes in London and Essex. PAG E 02 Comprising a collection of 20 two and three-bedroom apartments across 2 blocks and adjacent 8 contemporary mews houses. The Gramercy Greenwich runs along Creek Road with easy access to many transport links, green parks and museums, including the Greenwich Royal Observatory where all time stands still. Creek Road itself is next to the bustling high street, full of cafes, shops, restaurants and bars, providing numerous options for all your local conveniences and leisure time. ECLECTIC LO N D O N L I F E S T Y L E BEST OF BOTH WORLDS Greenwich is located a reassuring distance from the hustle and bustle of the inner city, but no more than 25 minutes away from central London. This leafy, green neighbourhood with many cobbled streets at its heart – has an abundance of space, attractions and amenities. N O 07 O N PAG E PAG E 0 6 Attracting a diverse group of residents with its mix of culture, art, independent cafés, local boutiques and riverside setting, Greenwich is fast becoming the go-to place for those looking for just a little bit more from their London lifestyle. THE ECLEC TIC LONDON LIFEST YLE PAG E 08 | O G REENWICH N G R AMERCY N O 09 PAG E THE N O 11 O N PAG E Local residents of Greenwich are generally families and young professionals, many of whom work in the City. You’ll see students too, as the University of Greenwich is just around the corner. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming, and there is a real sense of community. The rich mix of diversity and multi-culturalism makes Greenwich a refreshingly different place to live. PAG E 10 Greenwich has a very intimate ‘villagey’ feel with many of its landmarks in the centre of town nestled close to one another. Nowhere is more than a short stroll away from The Gramercy Greenwich and there always seems to be something interesting going on.

HISTORIC C E N T R E O F T H E C I T Y LIVING HERITAGE History is on your doorstep in Greenwich and the pride in the past can be seen everywhere. Arguably the most striking example is the Cutty Sark, located a stones throw from the development and the world’s last surviving tea clipper, which now stands majestically in dry dock by the river. Originally built in Scotland (its name comes from a Robbie Burns poem), the Cutty Sark has been lovingly restored and carefully conserved. Adjacent to Greenwich Park, The National Maritime Museum Greenwich is brimming with stories of exploration and endeavour at sea. The historic Queen’s House and the Royal Observatory, which houses the Prime Meridian, are two more examples of the sense of heritage that runs through Greenwich. N O 17 O N PAG E PAG E 16 Don’t be surprised if you spot a film crew in Greenwich as Hollywood has not been slow to feature locations from the royal borough in a wide range of movies including Les Miserables, Pirates of the Caribbean, The King’s Speech and, perhaps unexpectedly, Thor: The Dark World. THE G R AMERCY G REENWICH High on the hill above Greenwich Park sits the Royal Observatory, the location of the Prime Meridian – the point by which all time is measured around the world. | THE HISTORIC CENTRE OF THE N O 19 O N PAG E PAG E 18 CIT Y TRANQUILITY O F G R E E N S PAC E S OUTDOOR LIFE The greenness of Greenwich comes to life in Greenwich Park, just a 5 minute walk from the development, and sitting alongside the National Maritime Museum. The former hunting ground of Henry VIII who was born in Greenwich, the Royal Park is one of the largest single green spaces in south-east London. It attracts dog walkers, rollerbladers, picnickers, families and people just out for a stroll. It has a massive children’s playground, boating lake, London’s longest herbaceous border and an enclosure dedicated to a herd of red and fallow deer. Walking through the park to Blackheath is the perfect Sunday outing, particularly if it leads to a pub for Sunday lunch. Or, you could simply relax by the waterside with a drink at one of the many historical pubs. N O 23 O N PAG E PAG E 22 But there is another walk to consider, one that takes you under the Thames. Located near the Cutty Sark, the Greenwich Foot Tunnel links Greenwich to Island Gardens on the Isle of Dogs – where you can experience a view of Greenwich depicted in the famous Canaletto’s painting ‘A View of Greenwich from the River’.

There’s plenty to keep you entertained locally but you are also only a short journey away from the West End theatres and nightlife. PAG E 28 Greenwich has had its own theatre for over 150 years so treading the boards is well established here. Performing a mix of classic and contemporary productions, the Greenwich Theatre is particularly involved with supporting young and emerging artists. Film lovers should head for the Greenwich Picturehouse, a great venue for blockbuster and indie movies, while Up the Creek is London’s longest established comedy club.

But the focus is very much on the much-loved Greenwich Market, which is set within a World Heritage site. The centre of the market is filled with endless stalls offering crafts, vintage clothes, hats, cards, jewellery, antiques and all sorts of “collectors” items, while the fringes feature independent shops. The market is also a food-lover’s heaven with street food from virtually every country in the world ready to tempt.

As you might expect in such a historical setting, many of the pubs have traditional or maritime roots including the Cutty Sark, Gypsy Moth, Trafalgar Tavern, Richard I, Old Brewery and Greenwich Union. Many have cosy interiors and sunny outdoor seating for the summer months, and some have their own micro-breweries. There is also a good selection of wine bars and the Theatre of Wine shop runs regular tastings featuring both traditional and unusual wines. PAG E 38 Greenwich can satisfy virtually every craving when it comes to food and drink. Sticks ‘n’ Sushi has wonderful sushi and yakitori straight from the grill, while Peyton & Byrne serves up diet-defying pies, sausage rolls and salads. If you fancy an authentic London dish going back over 200 years or more, pop in to Goddards at Greenwich for traditional pie and mash, which also features vegetarian dishes on the menu. There are other excellent restaurants dotted around with a deliciously diverse range of cuisines including Thai, Spanish, French, Italian, Latin American as well as traditional British fare.

CREATIVE HUB N O 43 O N PAG E PAG E 42 Creativity is everywhere in Greenwich and it’s peppered with galleries where exhibitions are regularly taking place. The old Royal Naval College building houses the Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, the only conservatoire of its kind in the UK. The same building is also home to the University of Greenwich, which offers a wide range of degree subjects and has strong links to the scientific community. In addition, Greenwich has a considerable choice of primary and secondary schools both in the state and independent sector.

The Jubilee line stops at Northern Greenwich, near the O2, which is a short shuttle bus ride from the centre of the town. There are two rail stations, Greenwich and Maze Hill, which serve central London, east London and parts of Kent. Greenwich and Cutty Sark stations are part of the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) network. Bus services link Greenwich to a wide choice of areas including Catford, Elephant & Castle, Eltham, New Cross, Waterloo and Woolwich.
