Loose Cannon
There are a lot of old guns around the Woolwich Arsenal site. A lot of advertising for Berkeley Homes too.
Massive redevelopment of the old military site into apartment blocks, very different from the older area on the other side of a busy dual carriageway.

Woolwich railway station, London
Opened in 2022 by Crossrail Ltd. on the Elizabeth Line from Abbey Wood to Paddington. The station is part of the National Rail Network but run by Transport for London.
View east at the station building, constructed within the former royal dockyard. Ironically, Woolwich Dockyard railway station (https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3683469) is not in the dockyard!
