The Royal Borough of Greenwich has a rich history of commerce and industry, from the Royal Arsenal’s armaments contributions, links to the maritime industry, through to the growth across retail, construction, manufacturing, tourism, and our key growth sector- the creative industries.
Entrepreneurship is embedded in our history, from astronomers to industrialists, and breweries to AI. The borough is a home to c.10,000 businesses, across the town centres of Greenwich, Eltham and Woolwich, the vibrant Peninsula, and commercial estates.
The borough has well-connected transport links, access to support and business networks, and excellent further education institutions in a business-friendly borough.
