Up-and-coming Abbey Wood
Abbey Wood is an area of south London that's seeing huge investment in local amenities and rail facilities heralding faster routes into central London. Bordered by the borough of Woolwich and the river Thames, Abbey Wood also benefits from proximity to London City Airport at just over 20 minutes away by train.
Greenwich - where East meets West
Greenwich is under half an hour's drive away and the Royal Observatory is a popular attraction where you can stand on the Prime Meridian and see the incredible Great Equatorial Telescope, the largest of its kind in the UK.
Hop over the river Thames
Just under 15 minutes' drive from Abbey Wood is Woolwich Ferry, where you can get a free ride by car, bike or on foot over the river Thames. Once there you're within easy reach of ExCel London, a large convention centre with a full events programme plus plenty of places to eat.
