    Is a nice place for relaxing and walking. Nicely maintained. Was clean and well maintained. Had separate bicycle lanes. Definitely worth a visit. Can be easily reached by getting down at the Elizabeth line Woolwich station.

    Historical old military dockyard, now converted to housing, retail, and other businesses. You can wander around and see sculptures and depicts from its history.

    Love this area. Awesome walking along the river, great cafes, pubs and restaurants. Even a micro brewery nearby! Bi-weekly farmers market.

    An aggregate of historic warehouses and buildings that served for centuries as an important armament and ordinance compound. Interspersed, some repurposed/regenerated and all subsumed into a modern ‘residential precinct’ albeit with mixed results. This well-maintained precinct lacks congruity, looks piecemeal, feels enervated and detached. REVISITED 5 YEARS LATER A lacklustre development regardless of the recurring cannon motif with all the museum fabric now long gone and fizzled out like a dud round…PTOOFF!!

    Amazing Anthony Gormley sculptures at the heart of this historic and beautiful Thames landmark. The regeneration of this area is tasteful and respectful of the neighbourhood’s history whilst bring it into the 21st century. The site is well connected with DLR and train links, including the soon to open Crossrail.
