The Logistics
Trips back to London require a flight. Greenwich has a substantial British community, which can help families find familiar activities and connections.
The Lifestyle Shift
Think of Greenwich as the 'American Cotswolds': green, historic, and equestrian. You'll find familiar comforts, from British grocery sections to rugby clubs and an expat community that gathers for Six Nations.

Housing & Cost of Living
Your London budget goes much further here. A £2M flat in Chelsea translates to a 4-5 bedroom home with a garden, pool, and multiple acres in Greenwich. The August 2026 single-family median was $3.95M (GAR MLS). Rentals start around $5K-$8K/month for a family home, which is often comparable to or less than London rents in equivalent neighborhoods.

Common Questions
Do I need a car?
Yes. Unlike London, public transport here is for commuting to the city, not getting around town. You will need to drive.
Where can I find British groceries?
Several local shops carry British staples. The 'Stop & Shop' actually has a dedicated international aisle, and 'Aux Delices' often carries imported goods.
How does the school calendar work?
The US school year runs late August/early September to mid-June. The long summer break is a great time for families to travel back to the UK.
Is there a cricket club?
Yes, there are local cricket leagues in Fairfield County and organized matches at Greenwich parks.
Will my UK credit history count?
Generally no, and that makes a mortgage tricky. International banks like HSBC can sometimes bridge that gap, and we'll connect you with mortgage brokers who specialize in expats.
Is there an expat community?
Absolutely. Greenwich has one of the largest British expat communities in the US. There are regular social events, sports clubs, and the British International School of New York is accessible for those who want UK curriculum.
