A colossal 100,000-square-meter data center is poised to rise in South London’s Charlton Riverside — the size of fourteen football pitches — sparking fierce debate as it clashes with Greenwich Council’s vision for a green, residential riverside future. Proposed by a Luxembourg firm on industrial land near the Thames, the project threatens to demolish three locally listed buildings tied to the area’s industrial heritage and could generate 64,000 tonnes of waste during construction. Compounding tensions, a nearby five-thousand-capacity events venue has already drawn opposition. Developers are now seeking council approval for an environmental impact assessment, with a deadline of September 11th — all while the council juggles its own ambitious plan to build 8,000 homes and 1,000 jobs over two decades. If approved, construction would span five years, from 2028 to 2033 — reshaping the landscape and forcing tough choices about progress versus preservation.
