Woolwich might not be a name that you’re familiar with, but it definitely should be!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sitting on the riverside is a London locale that’s been given a new lease of life through recent developments. Once quite a quiet, unassuming place to live, Woolwich is quickly becoming one of the more favourable places to live in London. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PROPERTIES AND PRICES<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

TO BUY: <\/strong>As we stated, Woolwich is an up and coming area. This is often reflected in the prices, without boosting them to be too<\/em> unaffordable. There are various small flats available for around the \u00a399,000 – \u00a3200,000 mark. There are also houses available for significantly higher prices, and even bungalows available usually starting at around \u00a3500,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TO RENT: <\/strong>Again, as this is a freshly popular area, there is demand for renting as well as purchasing properties. Flatshares typically start at around \u00a3700 per month because of this reason. Studio apartments usually cost anywhere from \u00a31000 per month &<\/strong> upwards, with apartments being much the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TO STAY:<\/strong> Typically, luxury serviced apartments in Woolwich and the surrounding area start at around \u00a3130 per night. You can browse through some of our available properties here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

GREEN SPACES<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Woolwich is a very aesthetically pleasing place. There is much greenery to be found, and wide-open spaces available to roam. This locale tends to be quite popular with young families especially, due to the opportunities for enrichment and outside play for children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Woolwich Arsenal Park is a local favourite. It’s a grass common sporting lush greenery, various sitting areas to catch up with friends or host a picnic, and even a large billboard. On this billboard, you can sometimes catch the news! Locals praise it for being a lovely community melting pot. There’s even a small fountain attraction. While there’s no play area or sporting areas, this green space is still worth a visit for its relaxing appeal alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another popular choice is Woolwich Common. Many praise it for being a slice of countryside, a circular path surrounded by high bushes and trees, hidden away from busy roads and huge crowds. It’s very popular with dog walkers for this reason. Not only this, Woolwich Common sometimes hosts a funfair for the family to enjoy! There are even fresh milkshakes available now and then. We’d visit just for those alone! If you tire of wandering the paths, you can make your way to Shooters Hill, to sit for a while and take in the London skyline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our final recommendation is Maryon Park. This park is another hidden gem, much like locals claim Woolwich Common to be. Maryon Park is more family-oriented in that it offers a playground, as well as ample space to kick a football around. This park also sports ( <\/strong>if you’ll mind the pun<\/em> )<\/strong> its own tennis and basketball courts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THINGS TO DO<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Woolwich is a very quaint locale, with many independently-owned stores and restaurants, and a real community-driven feel. Here are some recommendations from its locals. Plus a few that we’d <\/em>recommend, and are even keen to visit ourselves! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
