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.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or development:
“Much that is natural, to the will must yield.
Men manufacture both machine and soul,
And use what they imperfectly control
To dare a future from the taken routes.”
—Thom Gunn (b. 1929)
“Sleep hath its own world,
And a wide realm of wild reality.
And dreams in their development have breath,
And tears, and tortures, and the touch of joy.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
