42 Circus Street, London, Greater London, SE10
Description
42 Circus Street comprises an irregular, roughly rectangular site currently occupied by a two-storey commercial unit with a roller-shutter frontage, considerably set back from the front boundary, with the forecourt presently used for off-street parking.
The site extends to a Plot GEA of approximately 195.05 sq m (2,067.21 sq ft) and sits between the terraces of Circus Street, immediately west of the adjoining Grade II listed terrace at 13-15A.
The property offers an excellent opportunity for redevelopment, subject to planning permission (STPP). The site benefits from a lapsed 2006 planning consent for a similar two-storey end-of-terrace dwelling, and from positive, supportive-in-principle pre-application advice received from the Royal Borough of Greenwich in April 2026 for the demolition of the existing commercial unit and its replacement with a two-storey plus lower ground floor residential dwelling - see Planning Potential overleaf.
The property is offered freehold, with vacant possession available on completion (to be confirmed).
42 Circus Street is located in the heart of Greenwich, within the West Greenwich Conservation Area and the buffer zone to the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site, moments from Greenwich town centre.
The site benefits from excellent transport connectivity (PTAL 6a), with Greenwich station (National Rail and DLR) a short walk away, providing fast and frequent services into central London and the wider Docklands Light Railway network.
Circus Street forms part of an established residential terrace, with the adjoining and nearby properties including the Grade II listed 13, 15 & 15A Circus Street, and sits close to Greenwich South Street's commercial and retail offer, West Greenwich Library and Queen Elizabeth's College.

Flood Risk
Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.
