Royal Arsenal Present and Future

Living in Royal Woolwich Arsenal
Woolwich: up and coming place to live in London
Home of the original Arsenal Football Club and two train stations still named thus, Woolwich is soon to become a transport hub of south east London thanks to the new Elizabeth Line which, from 2018, will provide up to 12 services an hour carying passengers to Canary Wharf, the City and the West End without having to change trains.
This has already had an impact on property and regeneration in the area. Some 5,000 homes are being built in waterfront towers in an ambitious £1.2 billion Royal Arsenal Riverside development. Alongside that the council has plans to transform derelict estates in the area into lovely new homes.
The Crossrail effect
The top property hotspots along the Elizabeth line tipped for house price growth. Commuting times will be slashed as house prices continue to soar along the newly named Elizabeth line, with forecasters tipping average increases of £133,000 between now and when the first trains run.

Woolwich and Abbey Wood areas are interesting case studies. The huge scale of their regeneration projects, combined with slashing of travel times to Canary Wharf (eight minutes from Woolwich), means that real change is likely to take place over the next few years.”
Crossrail Station
ELIZABETH LINE SERVICES FROM WOOLWICH

​
Woolwich station will open in December 2018 when services will terminate at Paddington in the west and Abbey Wood in the east.
When the route fully opens in December 2019, a train every five minutes at peak time will allow passengers to travel all the way through to Paddington, Heathrow or Reading in the west and Abbey Wood in the east.

Crossrail will offer dramatically reduced journey times to Canary Wharf (08 mins), Liverpool Street (14 mins), Bond Street (22 mins) and even Heathrow (50 mins).
