City AM looks at the rejuvenation of Woolwich; perennially labelled “up-and-coming”, its rejuvenation has been kick-started by Berkeley Homes’ Royal Arsenal Riverside Development, and the arrival of the Elizabeth Line in 2018. The £1.2bn, 88-acre Royal Arsenal holds 5,000 new homes, along with new retail facilities and a host of open park spaces, all set along almost 1km of riverside frontage. Once the Elizabeth Line opens, the same year as the development is set to complete, the area will be one of just two stations south of the river linking to Canary Wharf in eight minutes, and central London in just 22.
