What’s Happening at Southmere?
Southmere has been thoughtfully designed as more than just a place to live – it’s a destination in itself.
This latest phase is designed to offer a perfect balance of peaceful lakeside living and city convenience. Residents will enjoy access to a range of amenities including a 16-hour concierge, residents’ lounge, co-working spaces, and cinema room, with Skyline also featuring an entertainment room.
Outdoor enthusiasts can soon take advantage of paddleboarding, kayaking, and sailing facilities which are set to be unveiled at the new Southmere Lake boat club.
Southmere is also home to The Thamesmead Arts and Culture Office (TACO!), an artist-led charity based in Cygnet Square. It supports contemporary art through exhibitions, events, workshops, and community projects, including a children’s programme called The Hundred Club. TACO! also runs RTM.FM, a local volunteer-run arts radio station. With spaces like a gallery, café, bookshop, and print studio, TACO! is a welcoming hub for artists and locals to connect.
The development is just a 10-minute walk from Abbey Wood station, with quick commutes to Canary Wharf, Farringdon, and Paddington. With local shops, gyms, parks, and nature reserves nearby, Southmere creates a vibrant, well-connected community.
Peabody is proud to be leading this transformation – bringing not just homes, but regeneration to the Thamesmead area, including £2.5 million invested in Southmere Lake to improve water quality and create a larger habitat for wildlife.
