The World's Biggest Dome

Millennium Experience

The Millennium Experience will take place on a 181-acre site on the North Greenwich peninsula bounded on three sides by the River Thames. Part of a 300-acre former gasworks, it had been derelict for more than two decades and was the largest undeveloped site on the River Thames.

The cuts across the north of the site which is about two and a half kilometres from historic Greenwich.

Formerly owned by British Gas, in 1997 the site was sold to English Partnerships (EP), a government regeneration agency. EP commissioned the Richard Rogers Partnership to draw up a masterplan for the whole of the 300-acre site. Current plans include 3,000 new homes, a business district and industrial and retail areas.

EP are developing in time for 2000 a new 1,400-home Millennium Village using building and design techniques to the highest environmental standards for private housing, social housing, education and community uses.

At the heart of the site is a new underground station on the Jubilee Line and a transport interchange. The station, designed by Alsop & Stormer, is the largest in Europe. The transport interchange has been designed by Norman Foster Associates. The UK’s first major ecologically sensitive river scheme is being developed on the Greenwich Peninsula to provide beaches, mud flats and a terraced salt marsh.
