Keith OsborneQualifying buyers who reserve a Shared Ownership home at The Scene, situated between Deptford and New Cross, before 16 October 2021 will receive a one-year TFL travelcard (terms and conditions apply).
The development will be of great interest to buyers seeking a property that provides hassle-free routes to rail services without having to pay a hefty premium. The Scene, in Amersham Vale, is a partnership between Peabody and Sherrygreen Homes and is a collection of one- and two-bedroom apartments positioned an easy walk away from two stations.
Set amongst some of south London’s most vibrant and popular districts, The Scene brings a new community into the heart of an established neighbourhood in which creativity is an integral part. Located in Zone 2, it is all well-connected to the transport system, being just over 300m or a two-minute walk away from New Cross train station, from where residents can reach the buzz of the capital’s West End in 20 minutes. Alternatively, Deptford station, which is just over 600m away, provides rail services that place Greenwich just two minutes away or Canary Wharf in 12 minutes.
Bordered by the trendy neighbourhoods of Greenwich, Bermondsey, Peckham and the Isle of Dogs, residents at The Scene will never be short of places to explore or venues to visit. Nearby Deptford is a cultural hub full of artsy independent shops, markets and fashionable eateries. Multi-cultural Lewisham is a hive of activity with plenty to take advantage of. Lewisham Market is a firm favourite with the locals, while the Model Market brings together a medley of the very best of street food, lively bars and music DJs – including the popular Secret Nicky’s and rooftop bar Lewisham Highline. Grade II-listed Lewisham Arthouse serving up a host of live entertainment, art exhibitions, classes and workshops. For those seeking a full-on music experience, The O2 Arena in North Greenwich is less than four miles from The Scene and offers a calendar of famous performances.
The London Borough of Lewisham is one of the greenest in the capital, providing its residents with the highest number of parks and green spaces in London. Nearby Fordham Park offers a range of activities to the local community from a large play area, to football pitches and table tennis tables. Slightly further afield is Greenwich Park, home to 183 acres of open space, including a Wilderness Deer Park, a Tennis Centre, and 17th-century landscapes and gardens which date back to the Roman era.
Commuters who are also keen to travel via two wheels will find a variety of accessible cycling routes. Quietway 1 connects Waterloo to Greenwich and a proposal for SuperCycle Highway CS4 has been submitted, if successful the route will connect Tower Bridge to Greenwich.
