Greenwich has a new rooftop basketball court that’s adding excitement to London's sports scene. Designed by Architecture 00, this court sits atop the Greenwich Design District building, offering an open-air space just a short distance from North Greenwich station. Measuring 9.5 by 23.25 metre, it's strategically placed to provide players with unobstructed views of the O2 Arena and Canary Wharf, offering a unique experience.

Aside from basketball, the court will host other activities like yoga, and it’s available for photo shoots, film productions, and events like brand launches or networking sessions.
