About Greenwich

Greenwich is a famous the world over for its industrial, military, maritime and royal heritage. However, Greenwich is also a borough of great contrasts and diversity. We are experiencing huge social, economic, structural and cultural change. Greenwich has an important role to play in the development of the capital's economy, which is recognised internationally as significant growth area for new homes and businesses.

Population

Our current population is 221,400 and is forecast to increase dramatically by 28,000 by the year 2016.
