About

Woolwich Arsenal ward sits on the south bank of the River Thames within the Royal Borough of Greenwich. The area is historically defined by its military and industrial past, centred around the former Royal Arsenal complex. This legacy is visible in the conversion of its large-scale munitions buildings into residential and commercial spaces. The ward includes the eastern section of the main Woolwich town centre, with its transport hubs and high street retail.

A key focal point is the Royal Arsenal Riverside development, where old cannon factories now house apartments and a theatre. The area is directly served by the Woolwich Elizabeth line station, providing a major transport link. The open space of Dial Arch Square and the remaining historic gates and structures create a distinct architectural character, blending the old industrial landscape with new construction.
