Woolwich West

Woolwich West sits on the southern bank of the River Thames, forming a key part of the Royal Borough of Greenwich's urban fabric. The area is anchored by the Royal Arsenal, a historic military complex now largely converted for residential and cultural use. Its streets are a mix of modern apartment developments and older terraced housing, with several major transport links converging here, including the Elizabeth line and the Docklands Light Railway. The Thames Path provides a direct route for walking along the waterfront.

The area's identity is strongly tied to its industrial and military past, evident in the converted arsenal buildings and the presence of the Firepower Museum. Woolwich West is home to the large Tesco superstore and the Woolwich Centre, which houses the local library and civic offices. A distinctive local feature is the Dial Arch pub, located within the original gatehouse of the Royal Arsenal, serving as a social hub amidst the ongoing regeneration.
