The local Church of England has a large and active congregation. There is also a Catholic church just around the corner.

This public house is mentioned in a description of the hamlet of Abbey Wood in the late 1860s when it was one of the very few buildings. It is at the junction of Abbey Wood Road with Wilton Road. The A2041 Harrow Manorway flyover across the railway can be seen in the distance on the left. Various on-line pub guides describe the clientele of the pub as "local". Update November 2011 Driving past the other day the photographer noted that the public house had been demolished, and checking out other websites it had seemingly already gone by December 2009. This is a shame really because the building, with its high windows up in the soffit supports, was quite unusual and a good example of an early Victorian public house. It does not appear to have been locally listed either. There is a great photo of the last tram in Abbey Wood here http://www.flickr.com/photos/taffytank/4394748546/ with the Harrow Inn behind. Evidently the chimney on the far right of the tram photo had long since been demolished by 2007.

Glover Close is a small housing development in Abbey Wood, built on the site of a bus depotwhich closed in 1981. The depot had originally housed trams, until these were replaced by buses in the early 1950s. A few images of the bus garage are can be found on a local transport historian's website: http://www.yellins.com/transporthistory/bus6/aw-garage.html
