Greenwich Peninsula

Ravensbourne is located at the heart of London’s newest permanent creative community on the Greenwich Peninsula.  We’re nestled beside the O2 arena, with views stretching across the River Thames, to Canary Wharf, Maritime Greenwich and beyond.

The Tide: London’s first elevated park

The Tide is London’s first-ever elevated riverside linear park, and it’s right on our doorstep. Running from Peninsula Square and along the riverside, it’s currently 1km in length, and will be 5km when completed. That’s longer than the High Line in New York.

This swirl of raised, landscaped walkways and sunken parks, is lined with native trees, grasses and wildflowers, reaching 9m at its highest point. What’s more, it offers wooden sun loungers along the river banks, for a spot of sunbathing between lessons or some quiet time for creative thought.

Cherry on the cake is Damian Hurst’s Mermaid and work by a host of other artists. Ever seen a slice of ship? You will here.
