More Information on Development
During the World War Two, the site was a base for RAF and was used for making barrage balloons against low-flying aeroplanes. During the Cold War, the location was at the centre of counter-intelligence. The infamous Ferrier Estate was built on the site later, which lasted until the 1980s. Berkeley took over the site in 2009 with a master plan to deliver 4,800 new homes, shops and leisure facilities. The site incorporates two splendid new parks: Cator Park and Sutcliffe Park.
Kidbrooke Village enjoys all the benefits of this culturally rich area, including the beautiful Greenwich Park, the Royal Observatory and Maritime Greenwich. Greenwich is a lively hub with something for everyone. In addition to the popular Greenwich Market there are high street brands and independent boutiques too. All tastes and budgets are catered for by a fine selection of restaurants and pubs, many of which are housed in historic buildings often with park or river views.

You can take on any outdoor sport in the park or you can keep in shape in the residents only gym located in the Village Centre. The centre also has its own 24-hour concierge, situated within the retail hub.
The recently completed 2.7 acre playground Is a fine example of a sustainable and environmentally friendly designed play space. The designer of this adventure park for children is John O’Discoll who used renewable or reclaimed material such as natural wood : ‘ spruce in telegraph poles, green hart (recovered from the pilings of Woolwich pier) in seats and benches, and lofty, hexagonal-shaped towers, with enclosed rope walkways, topped with a jumble of stag horn oak that’s hand-collected from an Oxfordshire forest before being polished and oiled’.
Once a deserted brownfield site, Kidbrooke Village has been transformed with dozens of acres of ponds, wetlands, parks planted with trees and carpeted with wildflowers.
