Keep busy in SE7 with our guide to the best restaurants, bars, pubs and things to do in Charlton and Woolwich
Charlton and Woolwich are nestled up next to SE London gems Greenwich and Blackheath. Charlton may not house the head-turning architecture of its mightier siblings, but it's still very attractive. Aside from the family-friendly period streets of the whole hillside, often dubbed ‘Charlton Slopes’, there's also the historic hub of Charlton Village, which was once a bona fide hamlet. There you’ll find historic spots like Blackheath Rugby Club, the world’s oldest, as well as Charlton House, one of the finest surviving Jacobean mansions in Britain, and its luscious grounds and gardens.
Woolwich also offers some historic points to visit, including it’s Royal Barracks and the old covered Woolwich market, which now is now home to South East London's third iteration of street food and night market experts Street Feast. There are also potential plans by Greenwich Council for a major redevelopment of the area.
