New riverside scheme transforms up-and-coming Woolwich
Alongside new homes at the 80-acre riverside estate, there will be a buzzing array of restaurants, bars, retails outlets and leisure facilities, including the exclusive residents-only Waterside Club. These will be complemented by wide avenues, leafy parks, pleasant riverside walks, and a rich heritage, including 20 listed buildings dating back to the 17th century.

The new neighbourhood
This ambitious scheme Royal Arsenal Riverside, being developed by Berkeley over several years, scooped Gold in the WhatHouse? Awards 2017 “Best Regeneration Scheme” category – and it’s easy to see why.
Situated at the heart of Woolwich, within the Royal Borough of Greenwich, residents can enjoy modern Thames-side living combined with superb facilities on their doorstep, and excellent transport links right across London.
Homes are being released in several phases, with properties currently available at Building 10; Navigator Wharf - West Quay; the Waterfront I & II Premium Apartments; and Waterfront III.
The latest release is Building 10, a chic residential addition offering a choice of one-, two-, or three-bedroom apartments across 10 storeys. It’s positioned at the heart of the scheme, soaring above Windsor Square – a spacious piazza surrounded by striking contemporary architecture, and lined with shops, cafes and restaurants.

Five star leisure facilities
Whether it’s the kilometre of riverside walks or the luxurious on-site spa and gym, Royal Arsenal Riverside will appeal to buyers who like to stay active and healthy.
The Waterside Club is an exclusive residents-only health and well-being centre offering a warm welcome and five-star facilities and relaxation treatments. It’s designed to offer an oasis away from the hectic city, where residents can use state-of-the-art gym equipment, join fitness classes, and exercise or relax in the vitality spa pool and 20-metre swimming pool. There’s also a stylish private cinema room, a massage treatment room, and a sauna and steam room.
Berkeley is also creating a place for shopping, eating and culture, known as Royal Arsenal Riverside Explore (RARE). This will pack in cultural and retail spaces ranging from award-winning restaurants and gastro pubs to craft breweries and cafés. Practical facilities like dentists, osteopaths and day care will be complemented by regular community events such as a bi-monthly farmers' market and an annual Christmas Fête, all helping to foster a cohesive community.
