About

Plumstead High Street sits in the east of the Royal Borough of Greenwich and functions as the local centre for Plumstead. The street is lined with shops, cafes, takeaways, small supermarkets, charity shops and a handful of pubs, with a regular market operating on set days. Many of the surrounding terraces date from the 19th century and were built to house workers at the nearby Royal Arsenal, a pattern that shapes the street layout and housing stock today. Bus routes and a short walk to Plumstead railway station provide links into Greenwich, Woolwich and central London.

Community services and green space are close at hand: Plumstead Common lies a few minutes from the High Street and offers open grass, trees and sports areas used by local clubs. Local churches and community centres run events and support groups, while independent retailers and convenience services meet day-to-day needs. The mix of market stalls, commuter links and the proximity of the common give the High Street its particular role as a neighbourhood focal point.
