New guide supports families in temporary accommodation
Moving into temporary accommodation can be stressful and uncertain, but this new guide aims to make the process easier and more reassuring for residents.
Developed by the Royal Borough of Greenwich in partnership with local charity Creating Ground CIC, ‘Your Guide to Temporary Accommodation’ brings together practical advice and real experiences from people who’ve been through it themselves.
Councillor Pat Slattery, Cabinet Member for Housing Management, Neighbourhoods and Homelessness, said: “Living in temporary accommodation can be challenging. This co-produced guide draws on the experience of those who have gone through it and offers practical support for new residents.
“It reflects our commitment to listening to our communities and ensuring their voices are heard. I’m grateful to Creating Ground for working with us to create such a valuable resource.”
The guide covers everything families need to know when settling into temporary accommodation from what to do in the first few days, understanding your rights and responsibilities, and managing day-to-day costs, to finding local storage facilities and support services.
Every household moving into temporary accommodation in Greenwich will receive a copy, and it’s also available to download online: royalgreenwich.gov.uk/temporary-accommodation-guide
Neighbourhoods join together to build a healthier Greenwich
Residents, community groups and council staff joined together last month to celebrate the great work happening in Greenwich’s neighbourhoods to improve people’s health and wellbeing.
Over the past few years, the council and NHS have been working closely with local people to make it easier to get help, improve access to services, and support stronger, healthier communities.
Councillor Mariam Lolavar, Cabinet Member for Health, Adult Social Care and Borough of Sanctuary said: “When local people help shape our priorities everyone benefits. Research by the NHS Confederation has found that we see better health outcomes, stronger communities and more trust in local services when we listen to the communities that use them.
“Our priority will always be our resident’s health and wellbeing, and tackling health inequalities. Events like this allow us to come together to improve services and work together as one to really see results. We thank everyone that participated, and we’re looking forward to creating real change to help everyone live healthier and happier lives, no matter your postcode.”
Ideas from the event will guide the next stage of our community and neighbourhood health plans, keeping local voices at the heart of everything we do.

In Catford, every cat has its day
Joy Productions and Broadway Theatre
Catford present their purr-fectly delightful 2025 pantomime Dick Whittington and his Catford Cat, writes Michael Holland...
Fur-get everything you thought you knew about Dick Whittington! This ‘tail’ begins with our hero and his feline friend setting sail on the Empire Windrush, whisk(er) ing away to seek their fortune on London’s streets of gold.
But when they arrive in Catford, they discover the neighbourhood has a serious Cat-astrophe – Queen Rat and her rodent army are causing mayhem!
Join Dick and his Cat as they pounce into adventure, encounter an eccentric fairy, are helped on the way by a larger than life cook & fall head over paws in love.
This Christmas, treat your family to a panto that’s the cat’s pyjamas – packed with hysterical comedy, claw-some dance numbers, villains so dastardly you’ll be feline the need to boo, and enough Christmas spirit to make even the coolest cats purr with delight!
Remember: In Catford, every cat has its day... and every pantomime has its MEOW-ment!
Written by Susie McKenna it is a tribute to her wife Sharon D Clarke’s parents Viola and Vincent Clarke.
McKenna has revamped the storyline, adding a local twist which transports Dick and his faithful cat from Jamaica to seek his fortune on the streets of Catford.
She said: “This panto is a love letter to the Windrush Generation and to everyone who has contributed to create this vibrant and multicultural country we live in today.
“I hope audiences in Lewisham and beyond will experience laughter and connection, all the while spreading the message of joy and unity at
this important time of the year.”
This year’s seven strong principle cast will be directed by former Wolsey Theatre Artistic Director and musical theatre supremo Pete Rowe. Durone Stokes - Dick Whittington; Justin Brett- Sarah The Cook; Natasha Lewis - Queen Rat; Wayne Rollins - The Cat/Uncle Vincent; Lisa Davina Phillip - Fairy Bowbells; Fergie Fraser - Alice Fitzwarren; Ben Fox - Alderman Fitzwarren.
Cllr Sakina Sheikh – Cabinet Member for Culture, Communities and Sports – said: “We are super excited to partner with Joy Productions for a third year. This fresh take on Dick Whittington and his Catford Cat is a fantastic celebration of our borough.
“Blending a local landmark with a classic tale of courage, while also paying tribute to the Windrush generation will really resonate with our communities.
“Panto brings people together and there’s nothing quite like experiencing it at our iconic Broadway Theatre. We encourage residents to book early, bring loved ones and get ready for another unforgettable ride!”

In 1944, Sam King responded to an advertisement in The Gleaner that called for volunteers to join the British Royal Air Force to fight in the Second World War. After carrying out initial training in Kingston, he was posted to an RAF training centre at Filey in Yorkshire and thence to RAF Hawkinge, a fighter base near Folkestone, Kent,
Back in Jamaica King struggled to settle into civilian life, finding it difficult to get work, and it was another advertisement in The Gleaner – for tickets on the Empire

£8M Deptford mansion for sale
The Georgian-era house dates back to the early 1700s and is currently a private residence and creative arts venue.
It is said to have been purchased by its current owners, Willi Richards and Chris Mazeika, for just £195,000 in 1998 after their friend turned it down, saying it was too old and too rotten.
Known as the Master Shipwright’s House, it is one of the last aboveground survivors of Deptford Dockyard, which dates back to the 1500s.
It is made up of two structures, the main Master Shipwright's House and his office building attached. Equipped with ten bedrooms, six bathrooms, and ample living space, it is a country style house in the middle of London.
The office building is believed by some to have been the first working office building in the country.
A Master Shipwright's house would have been the residence and offices of the senior shipbuilders who oversaw the design and construction of ships during Deptford's successful maritime era.
A sprawling 10,000 sq ft riverside mansion in Deptford, which used to be owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News International, has been put on the market with a price tag of £8 million, writes Evie Flynn...
Deptford Dockyard, was once once of the most important naval dockyards in the world and was used to build and maintain ships for 350 years, after it was founded by Henry VII in 1513 and closed in 1869.
Rupert Murdoch's News International bought this area of the dockyard, which also included The Great Storehouse, from the Ministry of Defence in 1980. It was used by the company as offices and a dining room for executives when they were shipping paper out of the dock.
In 1990, News International demolished the site and the Master Shipwrights House has since been restored by private owners.
In the last 27 years, the current owner Willi Richards, who acquired the house along with his partner from being "in the
right place at the right time" undertook a huge restoration project as the house had no electricity or running water.
The house would have had many royal visitors over hundreds of years. In 1708, after the house underwent a restoration from its Tudor form, the issue went to the government of over expenditure and somebody said that the house, having been fit for King James VI and Elizabeth I had become more of a Shipwright's Palace, rather than the Master Shipwright's House.
Even modern day 'royalty' have been to the house in the form of celebrities. The infamous Kate Moss and Mario Testino shoot, where Kate was captured lying on top of the grand piano smoking a cigarette.
The owner recalls Tom Jones, Rod Stewart, Donald Sutherland,
Derek Jacobi, and Idris Elba as just some of the celebrities who have been in the space, either for fashion shoots or movie filming.
It was even used as the filming location for Luther's apartment in the BBC drama starring Idris Elba.
The house looks over sprawling uninterrupted views of London on the bank on the river, with lots of sunshine and light due to the large plot. You can even hear the movements and waves of the Thames at the foot of the garden.
To the East, you can see Greenwich and the Royal Naval College and to the North West you can see Canary Wharf towering above and the start of the City.
Currently, the owner says thirteen people live in the house and that is is "ideal for multi-generational living."
The interior has exposed plaster walls and the only paint used is the grey framing on the staircase and around the doors, to preserve the atmosphere of the period building.
English Heritage has described the house as 'light touch' and a benchmark of not overdoing the decoration and renovation.
The kitchen, on bottom floor, has three units, multiple sinks, an aga and multiple cellars.
In the garden, olive groves and fruit trees line the garden in a sheltered garden, which current owner describes the house as "something of an oasis".
The house is surrounded by high walls, which would have kept the British shipbuilding tactics secret and when the current owners moved in, the garden was a car park.
The house is being sold by Tim Phillips Prime Property Agent, who specialises in high net worth real estate.

Leisure centre to be demolished for housing
Greenwich Council has announced plans to demolish an aging leisure centre and sell the land on which it stands to build housing, writes Cameron Blackshaw, Local Democracy Reporter...
The Waterfront Leisure Centre in Woolwich will close once Woolwich Waves opens later this year, the council’s latest flagship health and leisure facility.
After the 30-year-old leisure centre ceases operations, Greenwich hopes to knock it down and build housing on the 2.25 acre site by the Thames that sits just east of the Woolwich Ferry south dock. Greenwich Council’s cabinet will discuss the plans at
a Cabinet meeting this week.
Cllr Majid Rahman, Cabinet Member for Planning, Estate Renewal and Development, said: “Once open, Woolwich Waves will be one of the most impressive, state-of-the-art leisure centres in the country with swimming pools, water slides, a gym across two floors, a soft play area and much more located in the heart of the town centre.
“The closure of the existing Waterfront Leisure Centre has always been part of the long-term plan of the delivery of Woolwich Waves.
“Subject to approval by Cabinet on Wednesday, November 19, it is recommended that the old Waterfront Leisure Centre building is demolished, when it becomes vacant, to avoid anti-social behaviour and associated security costs – challenges that come with a building sitting vacant. Then steps would be taken to repurpose the site for future sale that would be subject to a transparent and competitive process, ensuring best value for the borough.
“The repurposing of the Waterfront site would pave the way for more much-
needed housing and contribute to the council’s and the Mayor of London’s affordable housing targets. The regeneration of Woolwich remains a key priority for the council and Woolwich Waves sits at the heart of that.
“It will add to an impressive and transformative portfolio of delivery which includes the refurbishment of Tramshed Theatre, the opening of Woolwich Works, and the extensive improvements throughout the town centre, all of which are making Woolwich a more attractive place for people to live, visit, shop and work.”
The new Woolwich leisure centre— dubbed Woolwich Waves following a public vote— will boast a 25m eight lane swimming pool, flumes and slides, a health suite and spa, a large
Grade II listed South London hotel could be converted for elderly
Plans have been submitted to convert a Grade II listed hotel in Blackheath into accommodation for elderly people, writes Ruby Gregory Local Democracy Reporter
The plans, from
The hotel is located at the top of Blackheath Village at 8 to 16 Montpelier Row and is pat of a row of Georgian terraces that are all Grade II listed. According to Visit Greenwich, the terraces were originally built for city merchants and seafarers back in the late 18th century.
The buildings were gradually adapted into hotel use from the mid-20th century. There used to be two other hotels called the Regency and Heathview which were located on either side of the Clarendon Hotel however they reportedly became part of the current business in the late 1970s.
Under the proposals, the building
would be restored to provide accommodation for elderly people that would include a gym, health and wellbeing facilities and a restaurant that would be open for members of the public.
Elysian Blackheath also intends to demolish part of the site so a new extension can be built at the back of it containing blocks that would be
two to four-and-a-half storeys tall and would be connected by glazed links.
The proposals have been described as a positive contribution “to an identified housing need in the borough” as the accommodation is expected to help lower the burden on the NHS and will help free up “underutilised” family housing in the borough.
The plans were submitted on September 19 and are yet to be determined. Elysian Blackheath has also asked for listed building consent.
The proposals have been described as an opportunity to bring a “dated and declining facility” back into use that supports the need for older person’s accommodation in Lewisham with “substantial” regeneration benefits.
gym, sports halls, squash courts and several other community amenities. Behind the facility the council hopes to build 557 new homes contained in several tower blocks as well.
Although Greenwich Council has not announced an official opening date, the authority aims to open it to the public next month.

Gordon of Khartoum and the Woolwich ferries
I keep thinking it’s about time I did something about the Woolwich ferry. It’s a big institution which everybody knows about - and that’s one of the problems which keeps me from doing it. There are hundreds and hundreds of sites on the net which tell you all about the ferry, with varying degrees of accuracy and interest.
I have yet to find one which explains that it was one of the free crossings which the Government guaranteed to the people of east London to compensate for removing the tolls on the West London bridges - thus giving free crossings to West Londoners, whereas East Enders had to pay. The result was that the City of London built Tower Bridge, which of course is free, and Met. Board of Works built the Blackwall, Rotherhithe and two foot tunnels - and of course the free ferry, of which they were very proud.
The ferry opened on the 23rd of March 1889. The London County Council had itself begun work only only two days earlier. There were great rejoicings in Woolwich with flags and banners everywhere and all sorts of jollifications all day. Going through the press stories for its opening they’re all of them hugely
congratulatory – just one report in the local Kentish Independent does raise a few questions about allocation of tickets for the opening event and also the speaker. It says they expected it to be opened by Joseph Bazalgette, but who they got was Lord Rosebery, who declared the ferry open and ‘free for ever’. There were processions on both sides of the river followed by a banquet.
The ferry has continued ever since. People from outside London always express amazement that it still runs, but it’s still there, still free and - what’s more - we have just had a fourth generation of new boats. There is an excellent, if very brief Greenwich Council web page about the various vessels which have been used on the crossing - all of them purpose built. I remember a TV show not so long ago which was looking at ferries around the
world describing how amazingly high tech the Woolwich ferry was compared to most others - and here we were about to junk the boats because they were old.
I thought it might be interesting to look at how the boats have changed over the years –in particular their names, which might have something to say about how society was changing. In the 1880s they were national heroes, but ones with local links, followed years later by important local politicians - to today when one is understandably, named for a young crew member killed in an accident - but the other is named for a sentimental singer.
For the first week or so that the ferry ran there was only one boat available. That was the ‘Gordon’ as the first of three which had been specially commissioned from
R.H.Green and Co. just on the other side of the river at Blackwall.
It was named for General Charles Gordon – ‘Chinese Gordon’... ’Gordon of Khartoum’ who had been killed in dramatic circumstances just four years earlier. He was very much a national hero, with an incident filled and crowded career, but despite his reputation as the clean cut destroyer of colonial dissent he was somewhat eccentric, to put it mildly. There have been many biographies, but for a quick look there is an excellent Wikipedia page which goes into enormous detail about his many doings - leaving me to wonder what was really going on with all this derring do - what supervision he had and if the government knew what he was getting up to. I am also aware that there were other sides to him besides his military career, but he had considerable
local links with Woolwich and, as I will explain in a moment, with both Greenwich and Gravesend.
His main link with Woolwich is that he was born in 1833 in a house on a site up on what is now the Woolwich Common estate. The address won’t mean much now and I do myself remember a parade of impressive early 19th century houses up there but they had been allowed to get in a very bad state and were demolished in 1971 . I can just about remember a big campaign to keep his house. It had two plaques on it - one the usual blue plaque and another from 1902 put there by Woolwich Antiquarians. The main square in Woolwich is now called after him.
There is also a memorial window to him in Saint Alphege’s church in Greenwich, with a statement that he was actually baptised there.
General Gordon
This must have been because of his links to Greenwich. He was also an early cadet at the Royal Military Academy in Woolwich where he trained as a Royal Engineer.
I hope I am not being disloyal to Greenwich - where I have lived for the last 50 years - but I was a child in Gravesend and I am very aware that Gordon is seen as a hero there because of his founding of the ragged school. As an Engineer he had been appointed as Commandant of the Thames Forts with a remit to upgrade river defences. He founded a school in Fort House where he lived and which stood in what is now Fort Gardens – it was destroyed by a V2 in the Second World War. Gordon’s involvement in work to help poor children is more complex than only founding a school but that is what he is very much remembered for.
Mahdi’. Another more modern charismatic soldier who compares with him and his reputation was T.E. Lawrence - Lawrence of Arabia.
Meanwhile let’s have a quick look at the ferry boat itself. The Gordon was the first free ferry boat to operate across the Thames at Woolwich. Designed by Joseph Bazalgette, the boat took her maiden trip in service on 23 March 1889 and did so for the next thirty four years. These first Woolwich ferries were all paddle steamers, which were licensed to carry 1000 passengers and up to 20 vehicles. They were eventually fitted with electric lights throughout. Their engines – 2 pairs each connected to a paddle - were made by Penns of Greenwich.
In 1923 the London County Council began replacing the first generation boats. Gordon was replaced by
another Gordon built by Samuel White. And in 1912 ’old Gordon’ was sold for £1507 10s to a Dutch company. A 1945 letter to the paper describes a visit to a place in Holland and seeing barges.
By 1962 when they were scrapped it is said that these early ferries had covered around 4 million miles between them. In 1936 Gordon was overhauled and her vehicle deck and cycle area were enlarged. These alterations proved very beneficial to the handling of both vehicular and cyclist traffic.
Over the years both Gordons one and two were in use they were the cause of regular reports of incidents. Toddlers fell into the water and were rescued by members of the crew who got a commendation for saving them, and more typically suicides – pregnant single women,
ex soldiers and the never identified.
One who was found trapped in the paddle wheels had a long investigation about him and it was found that before he entered the water he had drunk an entire bottle of Lysol.
In 1911 the ferry narrowly avoided a major accident when the steamer Breslau hit the pontoon where Gordon was stationed there - with 200 passengers on board. Captain Young on the ferry cast off and went full speed astern, thus saving the ferry from an accident - for which he got a commendation and a £10 award from the council.
In 1923 a heavy steam lorry with barrels of oil fell between the ferry and the pontoon, causing delays of many many hours.
You see- all human life is there.
A few years after Gordon’s death the then Mayor of Gravesend gave a patch of land next to Fort Gardens, which has ever since been the Gordon Gardens containing a very suitable statue of him on a pedestal - it’s like a very much lower Nelson’s column.
I am very aware that this is is just a few notes about monuments to General Charles Gordon and that there are many, many long books and articles about his very busy life and status as a national hero. To be fair he was clearly very clever and very competent. He died eventually at the hands of insurgents led by one popularly known in England as the ‘Mad Mahdi’. I also note a quotation from a recent history which says there seems to be a consensus among recent historians that ‘Gordon himself was probably considerably madder than the

Free festive family fun this Christmas
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in our town centres! The Royal Borough of Greenwich is getting ready to celebrate the most wonderful time of year with two festive, family events this November.
Rock around the Christmas tree in Eltham (Passey Place) on Saturday 22 November and Woolwich (General Gordon and Beresford Squares) on Saturday 29 November. Woolwich will welcome a magical light installation. At both locations, follow festive art trails, join local performers for Christmas singalongs, and little ones can get stuck into free activities, workshops, arts and crafts with local arts organisations.
Plus, pick up unique gifts and treats from local market traders and swap sleigh for funfair rides, with a selection of children’s attractions.
Councillor Sandra Bauer, Cabinet Member for Equality, Culture and Communities, said: “This November, we’re bringing our communities together to celebrate the festive season in our town centres.
“Join us in Eltham and Woolwich for free performances, art trails, crafts and activities for kids. These events will bring free, inclusive and accessible festive fun to our residents, while supporting local businesses and boosting our economy.
“Get the dates in your diaries and bring your friends, family and neighbours to kick off the holiday season in style.”
Greenwich Market will also host their annual light switch on and lantern parade on Wednesday 19 November. Join the parade from 4pm, before gathering around the tree at 5pm to light it up!
With thanks to Bay Media, Marlborough Highways and Mulalley for supporting the Royal Borough of Greenwich Christmas town centre events.
Full details of both events will be announced in the coming weeks. To be first for updates, sign up to the council’s digital newsletter at royalgreenwich.gov.uk/newsletter, and follow us on WhatsApp at royalgreenwich.gov.uk/followwhatsapp and Facebook and Instagram @royal_greenwich

BIDDING FOR PROPERTIES
People on the Housing register are able to bid for all properties, regardless of their banding. You must be eligible for the size of property and bids will be considered in the following order: First Band A, followed by Band B1/B2 both in priority date order. Those in Band C will then be considered in registration date order. Please note that there will still be some properties with age restrictions so only people of this age group can apply for these.
A is for applicants in unsatisfactory housing, including people moving due to demolition and those under occupying their homes.
BAND
B1 or B2 is for applicants the Royal Borough of Greenwich must prioritise according to the law, particularly homeless people, and others with an urgent need to move for medical or welfare reasons.
C is for all applicants on the housing register, including those that are in priority bands A and B1/B2.
This scheme offers one and two bedroom flats and bungalows on the Coast and in the countryside, in the South East and West of England. In order to be considered you must be:
• A Council or Housing Association tenant
If you are unable to bid for advertised properties and have no one that can do so for you
• At least 55 years old. If you intend to add a household member under the age of 55 they must be either your spouse, current joint tenant, registered carer or dependent adult child.
Your removal costs will be met if you are a Council tenant and you do move to a Seaside and Country home.
To register, or find out more about the scheme, contact the Access and Allocation section on: 020 8921 2941
If you are a Housing Association tenant you need to contact your landlord to register. Further information is available from the scheme management organisation at housingmoves.org
The next printed edition of Greenwich Homes will be available on 3 December 2025 at midday. The closing date for all applications for this issue is midnight on 23 November 2025.
ALL households can bid for all types of property subject to meeting the bedroom size and any medical requirements.
IS WHAT HAPPENED TO THE HOMES ADVERTISED IN ISSUE 982
MOVE TO A SMALLER PROPERTY
If your property is now too big for you, you can apply for the Small is Beautiful scheme.
To be eligible, your current property must:
• be a council or housing association property
• have 2, 3, 4 or 5 bedrooms
• be in the Royal Borough of Greenwich
The scheme can help you move to a smaller home that better meets your needs. We can then use your property to help another family who need it. For example, those in an overcrowded property or who are homeless.
WHAT YOU’LL GET
We’ll help you with costs and finding a new home that better meets your needs.
Financial benefits
We’ll pay:
• £1,000 for each spare room you give up
• an extra £500 if you downsize by mutual exchange
• your moving costs
• your disturbance costs, for example, for packing, disconnecting and reconnecting your appliances
Priority to find a new home
We’ll put your household in the highest priority band on the housing register so you can find a new home as soon as possible.
An Under Occupation Adviser will support you throughout the downsizing process.
Extra support for households with adult children
If you have non-dependant adult children living with you, we can offer them their own flat, if we can get a bedroom back. This means you and your adult child will each get a one-bedroom flat.
Extra support for older tenants
If you’re Pension Credit age you can downsize to a home with one extra bedroom to allow for caring or support needs.
We can visit you and support you with everything you need to downsize.
WHO CAN APPLY
You can apply if you’re under-occupying your home by at least one bedroom.
When we decide if a tenant is under-occupying, we count a second living room (or parlour) as a bedroom.
APPLY
Email: Housing-Allocations-Downsizi@ royalgreenwich.gov.uk
OTHER DOWNSIZING OPTIONS
If you’re 55 or over, you could also consider moving to the seaside or countryside.
This could be for you if you’re:
• in poor health
• struggling to cope in your current home
• keen to move nearer to friends, family or amenities
You can also contact us if you know other tenants who might benefit from this scheme.
