Woolwich Arsenal

Woolwich Arsenal is a historic area in southeastern London known for its military and industrial significance. Originally established in the 19th century as a major government armaments manufacturing facility, it played a key role in producing weapons and ammunition for the British armed forces. Over time, its military manufacturing activities declined, and the site has been redeveloped into a mixed-use area featuring residential, commercial, and cultural spaces. The Arsenal's legacy is also reflected in local landmarks, such as the Royal Arsenal Riverside, blending industrial history with modern urban development.
