Crossrail will boost Plumstead

25th August 2017

The Evening Standard takes a look at homes, schools and transport links in Plumstead, which it says stands to profit from Crossrail and 900 new homes. The arrival of Crossrail in December next year at nearby Woolwich will mean residents who either walk or catch a bus to the new station in the Royal Arsenal development will be able to cut the journey time to Canary Wharf to eight minutes, to Liverpool Street to 14 minutes and Bond Street to 22 minutes. The town centre in the area between the station and Belmarsh prison is to see 900 new homes, part of housing association Peabody’s long-term plans for its Thamesmead estate.
