Blackwall Pier

The Greenwich Peninsula is an area of Greenwich in South East London, England. It is bounded on three sides by a loop of the Thames, between the Isle of Dogs to the west and Silvertown to the east. To the south is the rest of Greenwich, and to the south-east is Charlton. Formerly known as Greenwich Marshes and as Bugsby's Marshes, the area became known as East Greenwich as it developed in the 19th century, but more recently has been called North Greenwich due to the location of North Greenwich Underground station (not to be confused with North Greenwich on the Isle of Dogs, at the north side of a former ferry from Greenwich). Landmarks include The Dome (also known by the current corporate logo The O2 and previously as the Millennium Dome), the southern end of the Blackwall Tunnel and the western end of the Silvertown Tunnel. The area is now being substantially redeveloped with new homes, offices, schools and parks. Ravensbourne University London, a media and design university built on the peninsula in 2010, neighbours The O2.
