Future Development
The peninsula is now being developed with new homes at Peninsula Riverside, and Parkside Peninsula Quays. The former Millennium Dome, now The O2, was a London 2012 venue. The present London Soccer Dome building was a training facility for the 2012 games, after which the temporary building will be dismantled to make way for residential developments.
The redevelopment of Greenwich Peninsula is planned to take around 20 years. The improved access to the Peninsula from Canary Wharf, Silvertown, The City and Central London by the Jubilee Line has increased the prospects for continued residential regeneration.

“I imagine, on the benches of an assembly, the most intrepid of thinkers, a brilliant mind, one of those men who, when they ascend the tribune, feel it beneath them like the tripod of the oracle, suddenly grow in stature and become colossal, surpass by a head the massive appearances that mask reality, and see clearly the future over the high, frowning wall of the present.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“Creativity seems to emerge from multiple experiences, coupled with a well-supported development of personal resources, including a sense of freedom to venture beyond the known.”
—Loris Malaguzzi (20th century)
