About

Woolwich Common ward occupies a central position within the Royal Borough of Greenwich, situated south of the main Woolwich town centre. The area is largely defined by its open green spaces, including the expansive Woolwich Common itself and a significant portion of the historic Royal Artillery Barracks grounds. This creates a distinct contrast between formal military architecture and recreational parkland within the ward's boundaries.

The residential streets are primarily composed of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, alongside several notable post-war housing estates. The presence of the University of Greenwich at the former Royal Herbert Hospital buildings adds an institutional element. The ward is anchored by the major transport interchange at Woolwich Arsenal, providing direct rail and Docklands Light Railway connections across London.
