Talk:Greenwich Peninsula

Surrounding area
The comment on the edit to opening paragraph by 83.217.190.139 says New Charlton is obsolete. The Ordnance Survey and the Greenwich Guide (paragraph 8 "..The area along the riverside is primarily an industrial zone, and is known as New Charlton.") don't agree. Would others with local knowledge care to comment? Pterre (talk) 14:35, 17 December 2007 (UTC)


 * As far as I know, as of October 2007, the term "New Charlton" the term is still used. It's now primarily a retail shopping area along Bugbys Way.--TGC55 (talk) 18:14, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Blackwall Peninsula
This name was used by Paul Barker (senior research fellow of the Young Foundation, formerly the Institute of Community Studies) in a New Statesman article in 1997, and in I'd put my money on the rough edges of the Wheel, The Independent, 15 December 1999. In the latter he stated that the Dome's existence would, it was hoped, cancel out the blight over what was, in pre-Dome maps, always called the Blackwall Peninsula (no mention of Greenwich). User:Pterre has demonstrated on my talk page that the latter claim is incorrect.

The LDDC also used "Blackwall Peninsula" for the Greenwich one: see Improving connections to Docklands and Figure 16. Confusingly, they also used that name at least once for a completely different peninsula in the River Lea; more details are on my talk page linked above, in case anyone is interested. Anyway, the use of the name in the House of Commons justifies redirecting Blackwall Peninsula here. - Fayenatic (talk) 18:35, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

TfL buildings?
As of late 2009, there are two new large office buildings east of the O2, which are primarily occupied by Transport for London offices. This is worth a mention in the article. However, I don't have any references at hand which could be used to update this article.--TGC55 (talk) 13:35, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Just added some details on the TfL building and on Ravensbourne College Paul W (talk) 12:18, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
