Information About

Woolwich Common




It is bounded on the south side by the A207 Shooter's Hill Road, and on the east by Academy Road (part of the A205 South Circular road) upon which the former Royal Military Academy sits. Situated to the west is the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.

It is still possible to see Soldier s from the nearby Royal Artillery Barracks (situated at the northern edge of the Common) training there occasionally. Formerly, the common was used extensively by the Royal Artillery as a training area, as the common is also close to the former gun foundries in the Woolwich Arsenal .
