An Economy Built on Visitors and Creativity
Greenwich town centre trades on footfall — the market, the Cutty Sark, the park and the museums feed cafés, restaurants, galleries and independent shops all year round. Out on the peninsula, the O2 and the growing Design District have pulled in events businesses, studios and freelancers, while riverside developments have created a wave of new landlords.
These are businesses with seasonal cash flow, tips and TRONC schemes, event-driven VAT questions and mixed income streams — exactly the sort of detail that generic bookkeeping subscriptions miss.
