More Details
A riverside development spanning 76 acres, The Royal Arsenal is a former munitions factory & storage facility with a history dating back to 1671, that is being tastefully transformed to provide a blend of converted & new build residential properties, together with a central open space, bars, restaurants and a hotel.Beautifully landscaped, the builder has taken great care to create a development that is a pleasure to live in, rather than yet another sterile 'stack of boxes'. It retains a real sense of community yet retains a high degree of peace and tranquillity, away from the 'big smoke'.
Situated east of Greenwich, adjacent to Woolwich Town Centre (offering an array of main street shopping, including Marks & Spencer, Sainsbury's and, a vibrant street market) the development is easily reached by road & rail. The station is no more than a short stroll away, which provides direct (main line) access to the City (London Bridge / Cannon Street) in as little as 20 minutes and the West End (Charing X) in 30 minutes.
The daily commute has improved even further, with the recent opening of a new DLR station (adjacent to the mainline) at Woolwich which provides access to London City Airport in 5 minutes and Canary Wharf & Stratford in under 20 minutes.
As far as leisure is concerned, a short ride in a cab will take you to nearby Blackheath, Greenwich or, the O2 - where you will be spoilt for choice in terms of food, drink and nightlife.
As an alternative to the train or car, the Thames Clipper riverbus service docks immediately adjacent to the development and provides additional links with The O2, Greenwich, Canary Wharf, Tower Bridge, Blackfriars, The Southbank (Tate Modern) and beyond.
