Every London Borough has nurtered mega pop artists  – why are we telling you this I hear you ask….it’s because Ringley are based in Camden, the epicentre of all things music and Greenwich isnt that far away !

Which pop band - hang on this isnt a pop band but English Pianist Jools Holland ! Born on the 24th of January 1958 , he is one of the most pianist and band leader in the UK.  He has worked with countless other artists such as the Beatles , Eric Claptonand many more. He is best known as a peformer of boogie-woogie, jazz, and R&B; or as the keyboard-wizard sideman to one of the great new wave pop bands of the '70s and '80s; or as one of the U.K.'s most popular television presenters.

Ringley are a specialist Property Management Company in London, and more specifically North London and the surrounding boroughs which is why we thought we would create this page to highlight why you should use a local property management company to Greenwich.

History of Greenwich

Greenwich began as a Saxon village. It was called green wic (the word wic meant a port).The town became the site of a royal palace, the Palace of Placentia from the 15th century, and was the birthplace of many Tudors, including Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. The palace fell into disrepair during the English Civil War and was rebuilt as the Royal Naval Hospital for Sailors by Sir Christopher Wren and his assistant Nicholas Hawksmoor. These buildings became the Royal Naval College in 1873, and they remained an establishment for military education until 1998 when they passed into the hands of the Greenwich Foundation. 

The line in Greenwich represents the historic Prime Meridian of the World - Longitude 0º. Every place on Earth was measured in terms of its distance east or west from this line. The line itself divided the eastern and western hemispheres of the Earth - just as the Equator divides the northern and southern hemispheres.

New Developments in Greenwich: 

Greenwich is fast becoming London’s top property hots spots especially for swanky new apartments and regeneration schemes, some examples are : 

Greenwich Wharf

This new development is situated alongside the River Thames. All homes have parking and outside space and the development is a short bus ride away from North Greenwich and Cutty Sark stations.

Yes I have been watching Haringay develop over the past few years and really is one borough oozing with potential. I am also a serious amateur history buff and didn’t realise how ancient this part of London was back in the old days!

In 1838 the London and Greenwich Railway (L&GR) completed the very first steam railway in London. It started at London Bridge and had its terminus at London Street (now Greenwich High Road). It was also the first to be built specifically for passengers, and the first ever elevated railway, having 878 arches over its almost four mile stretch.
