Greenwich Has Great Commuter Options
11th February 2020 posted in Sellers Buyers Landlords Tenants
Even though there are many great places to live in London, people need to make sure that the area they choose is right for them. Greenwich has a lot to offer, and if you are looking for a part of the capital that has a tremendous sense of history, it is hard to find a better area. The borough lies at the heart of English maritime history, and there is a sense of family tradition in the area.
Of course, this history and grandeur is no use if you cannot get to and from work easily. There is a need for transport options, and this is true whether you are a tourist looking to explore Greenwich or a homeowner needing to commute daily. Greenwich may not be overloaded with transport options in the same way that some parts of London are, but you should find there are more than enough options at your disposal.
The centre of Greenwich is very well-connected to the City and Canary Wharf. If you work in these areas, you should find you can make your way to the office with a minimum of fuss and effort.
Make your way in and out of Greenwich easily
Southeastern runs the train service at Greenwich Train Station, and there is a range of fast routes across East London. You can access Kent, Dartford and Barnehurst quickly from here. Heading into central London, it is less than 10 minutes to reach London Bridge, and Cannon Street is less than 15 minutes from Greenwich Street.
Greenwich Train Station is managed by Southeastern and provides fast rail routes across East London through Woolwich in 13 minutes to Kent, taking just over half an hour to Dartford and 45 minutes to Barnehurst. In the other direction, the trains go from Greenwich Station to Cannon Street Station in London and take less than a quarter of an hour. You can also get off at London Bridge after an 8-minute journey, where you can feast in Borough Market or get spooked in the London Dungeons.
The Tube helps people get in and out of North Greenwich
There is also the North Greenwich tube station, which provides plenty of options to get around the capital. This station, which lies on the Jubilee Line, is associated with the O2 venue, but it has provided many options for commuters in this part of the local area.
The journey to St Paul’s takes less than 15 minutes, you can reach Trafalgar Square in less than 20 minutes, and it takes 20 minutes to reach Oxford Street. Anyone looking to venture to the West End can reach Knightsbridge Tube Station in 23 minutes.
Don’t forget there is also the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) services heading to Canary Wharf. This is a reliable service and one which helps many residents make the process of getting and from work a simpler process.
