Learn more about hotels in Woolwich

Woolwich is a fascinating district nestled within the Royal Borough of Greenwich, southeast London. With its proud origins rooted in the Iron Age and a rich military-industrial history that begins in the 16th Century, Woolwich is a time capsule of British history, all centred around its prominent 1.6-mile Thames frontage. Let your imagination soar as you traverse the same streets that once bustled with dockyard workers during the Napoleonic Wars.

The establishment of Woolwich Dockyard in 1512 by Henry VIII marked the inception of the district as a pivotal maritime, military and industrial centre. The Royal Arsenal, Woolwich's heart of war materiel production, rose in the early 19th century, growing the town into a hive of activity filled with glass factories, pottery kilns and ropeyards.

Experience the lively atmosphere of Woolwich Market, an integral part of the district's character since at least 1618. Feel the academic energy seep from the walls of Woolwich Polytechnic, founded in 1891, and still serving as a beacon of knowledge.
