When it comes to buying a first home in London, many people assume compromise is unavoidable. More space often means moving further out. Affordability can come at the expense of convenience. Green surroundings rarely come with excellent connections. But at Lombard Square in Plumstead, buyers are discovering a pleasantly unexpected alternative.
Part of Peabody New Homes’ collection of Shared Ownership homes, Lombard Square is helping to change perceptions of what life in London can offer. Set around a beautifully landscaped 1.8-acre garden square, the development combines contemporary homes, outstanding amenities and strong transport links, all within a thriving local community.
More Than You Might Expect
For those unfamiliar with this corner of south east London, the area often comes as a surprise.
Positioned between Greenwich and Woolwich, Plumstead offers a unique blend of established neighbourhood charm and exciting regeneration.
Independent cafés, local businesses, green open spaces and riverside walks sit alongside excellent amenities and a growing sense of community.
What makes Lombard Square particularly appealing is how it combines these neighbourhood qualities with exceptional value.
Shared Ownership homes are available from £99,000 for a 30% share, opening the door to homeownership for buyers who may have assumed London property ownership was beyond reach.
Everything You Need, Closer Than You Think
Lombard Square offers one and two-bedroom apartments designed for modern living.
Bright, open-plan layouts create flexible spaces for everyday life, whether working from home, hosting friends or simply relaxing.
Every home benefits from private outdoor space, integrated Bosch appliances and high-quality contemporary finishes.
The pleasantly unexpected theme continues beyond the apartment itself. Residents enjoy access to a concierge service, an on-site gym, and supermarket, creating a level of convenience that many would not expect. At the heart of the development, the garden square provides a peaceful place to unwind, with landscaped planting, open lawns, seating areas, and a wildlife pond that bring nature into the centre of the community.
Connectivity is another surprise. Plumstead Station is just a short walk away, while nearby Woolwich provides access to the Elizabeth line and DLR, placing Canary Wharf, the City, the West End and beyond within quick and easy reach.
Greener than expected. Better connected than anticipated. More attainable than imagined. At Lombard Square, the pleasantly unexpected is becoming part of everyday life.
