The Development
Renaissance in full flow - Royal Arsenal Riverside Today
Royal Arsenal Riverside in Woolwich, SE18 embraces both the refurbishment of Grade I and II listed historic buildings and bold new modern architecture.
The scope of this vast residential enclave is breathtaking:
- Proposed Crossrail station at Royal Arsenal Riverside linking directly with Heathrow Airport
- 24 hour concierge
- Residents' gym
- Streetcar share club
- Young's pub and dining
- Firepower and The Museum Café & Bistro
- Forthcoming Holiday Inn Express hotel
- Forthcoming Tesco Express
- Additional offices, shops and parks
- Over 1,700 homes already exist at Royal Arsenal Riverside, with an additional 3,700 new homes planned
Given the value of the Grade I and II listed buildings to the nation, meticulous efforts have gone into their restoration. Wherever possible, original materials were used, from sash windows to cast-iron columns. War damaged bricks were matched and covered in soot to replicate the original. Current and future phases comprise contemporary architecture, sympathetic to the existing surroundings.
Every last detail has been painstakingly thought through.
