About Woolwich

Woolwich is a village. Location: Greenwich, Greater London. Population: 84,959. Elevation: 20 m.

From Wikipedia

Woolwich ( ) is a market town in south-east London, England, within the Royal Borough of Greenwich. The district's location on the River Thames led to its status as an important naval, military and industrial area; a role that was maintained throughout the 16th to 20th centuries. After several decades of economic hardship and social deprivation, the area now has several large-scale urban renewal projects.
