Morden Wharf

Proposed

Morden Wharf, Morden Park, CGI by Pixelflakes

Morden Wharf is being created by regeneration specialist U+I in collaboration with acclaimed Dutch architecture firm Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA), on Greenwich Peninsula.

Morden Wharf is a new mixed-use neighbourhood comprising a large new riverside public park, 1,500 homes (of which 35% will be affordable), and employment space on Greenwich Peninsula. Designed by OMA for regeneration specialist U+I, Morden Wharf is unlike other development in Greenwich and a model for the future of urban living. As the final piece of the Peninsula puzzle, it will reinvent the area’s industrial past whilst celebrating its heritage and engaging with the existing community.

Resilient London: confronting climate change

Morden Wharf is a new mixed-use neighbourhood comprising a large new riverside public park, 1,500 homes (of which 35 per cent will be affordable), and employment space on Greenwich Peninsula. Over 60 per cent of Morden Wharf is dedicated to public realm, including a 3.9-acre public park to address the shortfall of green space and ecological resource on Greenwich Peninsula. Residential buildings feature vertical green facades that will provide natural screening and improve air quality. Communal allotments and gardens encourage outdoor socialising and learning. A new mobility hub promoting low-carbon transport will better connect the neighbourhood to the local area.
