Drone video shows scale of new Kidbrooke housing

Work on hundreds of homes in Kidbrooke near the town’s Peglar Square have been shown in a new drone video.

The video is from construction company Modebest and can be seen here.

It’s a great oversight of work at one of the last plots to be built in phase 3 going by the name Central Gardens.

An adjacent school can be seen which Greenwich Council is proposing to close.

Phases of project

Also visible is the nearby Transport for London joint development beside Kidbrooke station where around 100 homes are due to be occupied right about now out of 400 soon to be complete. Work on a further couple of hundred will bring totals there to 619.

Other Kidbrooke Village sites are now seeing the scaffolding coming down including plots in Phase 4 (Waterlily Court) and another in Phase 3 located some way from the rest of that phase.

Phase 2 is someway behind even phase 4 with work now underway on homes there too.

Plans for Phase 5 were approved in January this year and cover the area outlined in green below.

That’s not it for Kidbrooke though as Greenwich Council are working on three substantial sites.

Two adjacent sites sit opposite Aldi near the Kidbrooke junction and station.

I've lived in south east London most of my life growing up in Greenwich borough and working in the area for many years. The site has contributors on occasion and we cover many different topics. Living and working in the area offers an insight into what is happening locally.

  • The scale of development at Kidbrooke is now taking pace with some blocks nearing completion and other blocks recently started. Providing very much needed new homes In the Kidbrooke area including on the site of the old Thomas Tallis School..
    However, infrastructure and other amenities are not being upgraded to meet demands of the growing local population.
    The Borough needs improved transport links. Health Care Facilities like GP Practices and additional school places including for SEN childten with additional educational needs along with services for the elderly and disabled who are often forgotten when planning new developments.
