Woolwich London Map

About Woolwich

Woolwich, a significant settlement within the Greenwich district of London, carries the echoes of its industrial and military past. It lies 11.1 km east-south-east of City of London (from City of London: bearing 104°T, OS grid TQ 433 788), and is situated north-west of North Cray village. The Thames, a broad, grey ribbon, has long been the artery of Woolwich, bearing witness to the Royal Arsenal's formidable presence and the ceaseless activity of its docks. Even now, a certain resilience seems to cling to the air, a memory of iron and industry, a quiet strength that has weathered the centuries. The sky above Woolwich, often a pale, luminous canvas, can hold a surprising depth of colour at dawn and dusk, reflecting the river's patient journey.
