Why Greenwich earns more
Greenwich carries one of London's most powerful tourism brands — a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Royal Observatory, Cutty Sark, and the Old Royal Naval College draw millions of visitors every year, many of whom prefer a short-let in the area over a central London hotel.
Add the O2 Arena (one of the world's busiest entertainment venues), a thriving food market, and direct DLR connections, and Greenwich delivers short-let performance that consistently surprises landlords new to the market.

Tourism and heritage guests
Greenwich's World Heritage status draws a consistently international guest base, with strong demand from US, European and Asian visitors who want to stay in an area with its own distinct character. Average stays tend to be longer than the London average.

COMPLIANCE
What Greenwich landlords need to know
Regulations in Greenwich fall under Royal Borough of Greenwich and the standard Greater London short-let framework. We handle the detail — here's what matters.
THE 90-NIGHT RULE
Under the Deregulation Act 2015 you can let your entire home short-term for up to 90 nights per calendar year without planning permission. Beyond that, you'd apply to your council for a change of use. Staymo tracks your nights and keeps you informed.
Leasehold & freeholder rules
Many properties here are leasehold. Check your lease before proceeding — some restrict short-term letting or require freeholder consent. We'll help you understand exactly what to look for during your first call.
Safety requirements
A Gas Safety Certificate (annual), an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), and working smoke & carbon monoxide alarms. We confirm what's in place during your property assessment.
Tax & income reporting
Income from short-letting must be declared to HMRC via Self Assessment. You may be eligible for the property income allowance or Rent a Room relief — worth discussing with your accountant.
HOW IT WORKS
The detail, upfront
How much can my Greenwich property earn on Airbnb?
A well-presented 1-bed in Greenwich typically earns £1,850–£2,800/month gross. O2 event weekends deliver some of the strongest nightly rate spikes in south-east London.
Is short-term letting allowed in Greenwich?
Yes. Greenwich falls under the Greater London 90-night rule — you can let your entire home for up to 90 nights per year without planning permission. Beyond that, apply to Royal Borough of Greenwich for change of use. Staymo tracks your nights and keeps you compliant.
How quickly can you get my property live?
Once we have keys, photos and basic safety documentation in place, your property is typically live within 3 days.
