Woolwich was tipped as one of London’s ‘up and coming’ neighbourhoods for a number of years. But it’s only recently been catapulted into the spotlight – namely thanks to the colossal Royal Arsenal Riverside development, and hotly anticipated in-construction properties such as Callis Yard and Trinity Walk. Read on to discover developments that are the best places to live in Woolwich. In addition, read reviews from residents who own or rent in Woolwich.
Nice estate on the surface, but poor property management
Great transport links by bus, train, DLR and now Elizabeth line. Very large Tesco down the road is super convenient, also now houses a B&Q outlet. Lots of other very useful stores in the immediate area, either in Woolwich town centre or in the Powis Street area, just slightly further down.
Decent selection of bars, pubs and restaurants – the more upmarket ones are located in the Royal Arsenal development though. The majority of the Trinity Walk development is off the main road, so not too much traffic noise or direct pollution. Some anti-social behaviour in the areas nearest to the main roads (e.g. noisy/drunk passers by), but no real crime observed in or around the estate so far, thankfully. Woolwich town centre has seen some incidents though, unfortunately.
Please review your development:
The particular estate design feature that we enjoy the most is the communal courtyard that our back patio is connected to – this provides residents with a nice shared outdoor space, that is finally being maintained properly by the Facilities/Property Management company, after a period of relative neglect.
The poor performance and poor customer service of the Facilities/Property Management company (Pinnacle) is the biggest issue for us, and for most other residents we know. This has consistently been the case since we moved here in 2019. Lovell must take some of the blame in this respect, for entrusting estate management to such a poor agent.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
It would have been useful if we were given the details of key individuals in the estate management company, not just the generic customer service numbers and email addresses. Also would have been good if we were given information about the Trinity Walk Residents Association, and how we could feed into that. All these things we had to find out either by chance, or by asking around and around.
What is the best feature of your home:
The particular desing feature that we enjoy the most is the communal courtyard that our back patio is connected to – this provides residents with a nice shared outdoor space, and naturally encourages interaction, especially in the spring/summer months
