About Woolwich

Woolwich is a former navel hub in south east London, within the London Borough of Greenwich. The area grew significantly during the eighteenth and nineteenth century, when Woolwich became a leading military and industrial town. The area went through a period of decline, however since the redevelopment of the Royal Arsenal ground, it is becoming increasingly popular with businesses again. Woolwich sits on the south bank of the river Thames, and you can cross to the north via ferry or foot tunnel. The Woolwich foot tunnel crosses underneath the Thames and was opened in 1912. The impressive entrances at either end are grade II listed, and the tunnel itself was refurbished in 2010. As well as modern buildings, there are several examples of impressive historic buildings in the area, and the Edwardian Baroque town hall is well worth a visit.
