Laboratory Pavilion East at Royal Arsenal
The Royal Arsenal at Woolwich dated from the late 17th century and at the time of the First World War covered 1,285 acres and employed close to 80,000 people. It finally closed as a factory in 1967 and the Ministry of Defence moved out in 1994. Today it is open to the public and is being redeveloped for housing and community use. It comprises one of the biggest concentrations of Grade I and Grade II listed buildings converted for residential use, with more than 3,000 residents. A full history can be seen at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Arsenal
This is Laboratory Pavilion East which dates from around 1696. It is Grade II Listed.

Woolwich: Number One Street, Royal Arsenal
This is one of the main north-south arteries through the former Royal Arsenal site.
The site's 76 acres were bought by the London Development Agency for £1 from the Ministry of Defence in 1997. In the largest on-site reclamation of soil ever, £48.8 million was spent on decontaminating the area. At its peak during the First World War the Royal Arsenal employed 88,000 people, covered 1,350 acres, and even had its own railway system, with 150 miles of track.

New development in Woolwich
This could be Vauxhall, Lewisham, Canning Town or anywhere near to good transport links. Woolwich has trains, the DLR and a multitude of buses and will soon have the Elizabeth line. This is Maribor Park and looks towards the new blocks near the Woolwich Ferry.
