Revisiting Renaming North Greenwich

[melikepie]

In 2017 there were giant plans for a redevelopment of the Greenwich Peninsula with the building of the tower called Peninsula Place by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. This was to be completed in 2020. As part of this, North Greenwich station was finally going to be renamed to reflect the area it serves i.e. the Greenwich Peninsula. Does anyone know what are the plans now?

Well,at least the project itself lives on:

The Project

and with landscape architects GROSS.MAX(their capitals,btw) involved this could be interesting,one suspects. As it's (c)2023 bottom right, we can safely assume it's ongoing.

I also note in the text (yes, I've read it) there's a link, so I've clicked on that for all &:

The facts

we even get a rail map-unfortunately,North Greenwich remains stubbornly that-maybe they should be emailed for further information vide the station renaming.

TfL will only rename NOG (North Greenwich) if some one comes up with cash to do the job, its not just a simple as sticking a new name board at the Station Entrance

Indeed, renaming Southgate for 2 days cost just under £10.5k in 2018. And that didn't require changing anything at stations other than Southgate.

After long delays many of the vacant spaces around the Greenwich Peninsular are seeing new tower blocks going up.

If the new homes sell this may be the incentive to create the development above the station.
