Councillor Dan Thorpe last night took to Twitter to reveal the project had been ditched following a meeting with site owners Morgan Stanley and the local authority.
He said: “Following a meeting between @Royal_Greenwich & @MorganStanley last week, I have just received confirmation that the #enderbywharf cruise liner terminal in #Greenwich is no longer going to be developed and will not built out as part of the scheme.”

Morgan Stanley was granted planning permission for the terminal and wider residential development by Greenwich Council in 2012, which was later extended in 2015.
Although building work had been blighted by concerns from local residents and environmental campaigners, claiming the project would cause a rise in dangerous levels of air pollution.
In response to the news, campaign group No Toxic Cruise Port for London tweeted: “Following a three year fight plans to build London’s cruise port are finally sunk by local campaigners and fears over toxic air as @MorganStanley draft new plans for #enderbywharf and confirm there’s no place for a cruise terminal. Good news for cleaner air.”
