Welcome to Woolwich

Woolwich is positively brimming with potential. Planning development strategies have it pegged to become a major metropolitan centre in the next few decades, with the district being referred to as an ‘opportunity area’ in the London Plan. In other words, if there was ever a place with all the signs pointing towards future growth and a boom in popularity, this is it.

All this is, of course, extremely exciting, and we are fascinated to see how Woolwich evolves in the coming years. However, it’s important to remember that you aren’t going to have to wait decades for Woolwich to become a wonderful place to live: it’s already there. The progress it makes going forward should be thought of as another step in a long line of improvements and transformations that Woolwich has already gone through.

Woolwich began as a vital naval and industrial town and became part of London in the 19th century. Following an economic change in the 20th century, the town fell on hard times before bouncing back in recent years to become a truly modern district. Today, it’s positively brimming with markets, cafes, shops, pubs ad restaurant, alongside huge cultural developments. Examples of these include the Chickenshed Theatre, Greenwich and Docklands International Festival, and the Greenwich Heritage Centre, to name but a few.

All of this has come together to help create newfound economic prosperity. This, alongside new transport links like Woolwich Arsenal Station – which opens up the rest of the country and provides even greater opportunities to its residents – all adds up to one of the most desirable areas to live in the country. Woolwich will change, but it’s already – and always has been – a truly special place to call home.
