In the Royal Borough of Greenwich, Kidbrooke is emerging as southeast London’s latest gem. With plenty of green space, places to grab a bite to eat, and a vibrant community, Kidbrooke offers the best of local living within one of the city’s most interesting boroughs.
A central piece of this new neighbourhood is Kidbrooke Square, located right next to Kidbrooke Station. Here Notting Hill Genesis is building 619 new homes, including a stunning collection of one-, two-and three-bedroom apartments available to buy through Shared Ownership, set around a new village square, with café and shops planned for later stages.
From the development, residents can walk, cycle or take the bus and explore all that the wider area has to offer, from nearby historic Greenwich to whimsical Blackheath Village.
An area with history
Notable for its royal connections and maritime history, the Royal Borough of Greenwich has so much to offer, from science to seafaring, and even a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Just half an hour away by bus, take a stroll round the grounds of Maritime Greenwich and admire the iconic work of London’s favourite architect, Sir Christopher Wren. Not far up the hill is the Royal Observatory, home to the Meridian Line and the start of time itself! From there, you can head down to the Cutty Sark and experience first-hand what was once the fastest ship in the world.

Quaint Blackheath Village is another hidden jewel, with a local high street complete with a butcher, greengrocer and florist. Places to visit include Ranger’s House, a filming location featured in popular Netflix show Bridgerton now housing an art collection, and the Pagoda House, a Grade II*-listed building in one of the area’s most affluent neighbourhoods.

Limited time offer at Kidbrooke Square
This summer, NHG Homes is offering buyers at Kidbrooke Square additional support – if you reserve your home by 31 August, you’ll receive up to £2,400 towards your mortgage.
Any potential buyers looking to learn more about Shared Ownership are encouraged to get in touch with the NHG Homes team who can talk them through the process of buying a home.
Through Shared Ownership, buyers part own and part rent their home by purchasing a percentage share of the property, and paying rent on the remainder. This share can then be increased over time, allowing buyers to own a property for a fraction of the price they would be required to pay if they were to purchase outright.
One-bedroom apartments at Kidbrooke Square start from £93,125 for a 25 per cent share, with two-bedrooms from £112,500 and three-bedrooms from £158,750.
