Building safety in Greenwich

The Royal Borough of Greenwich combines large regeneration on the Greenwich Peninsula with riverside towers at Woolwich and Charlton, alongside older high-rise estates inland.

The local authority in Greenwich is the Royal Borough of Greenwich. For higher-risk buildings, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority and holds the register of occupied HRBs - not the Royal Borough of Greenwich.

As at 30 April 2026, 4,378 residential buildings 11m and over with unsafe cladding were being monitored in the government's remediation programmes across England - 55% had started or completed works. Greenwich sits within one of the largest concentrations of these buildings in the country.
