Architects can expect a raft of work in east London after Boris Johnson announced 10,000 new homes will be built on the Greenwich Peninsula.

The mayor of London revealed the ambition following an agreement with secretary of state Eric Pickles and the Homes and Communities Agency to facilitate the next phase of development, which includes 1,350 homes by the end of 2015 delivered by developer Lend Lease.

Johnson said: “This latest phase of regeneration will seal its future as a thriving, well-connected new district, combining vibrant new residential areas and fantastic leisure facilities.

The news follows last week’s announcement that a new road tunnel between Greenwich Peninsula and Silvertown in the Royal Docks will be built.

For the last ten years Glowfrog have been a leading visualisation company on the Peninsula and are very proud of the ongoing development and success of the area.
