Property Description
What are the whereabouts of the new complex?
Callis Yard is housed by the vibrant community of Woolwich, a rapidly-developing district in the London Borough of Greenwich.
Steeped in military history, Woolwich is known for housing the Royal Arsenal, a former arms manufacturing complex that now accommodates a wide array of modern pubs, cosy cafes, and food shops. Another popular destination is a farmers’ market in Artillery Square that offers produce, baked goods, and flowers.
Thanks to the nearby Woolwich Foot Tunnel, you can cross the River Thames in a few minutes and enjoy a tranquil walk amidst the lush greenery of Royal Victoria Gardens, a beautiful riverside park with a splash pool, a playground, and tennis courts.
Eight minutes away, Woolwich Arsenal station offers National Rail and Docklands Light Railway services that connect the neighbourhood to the city centre and London City Airport. Furthermore, the complex is placed within an 11-minute stroll of Woolwich Pier that offers a free ride across the river from the Woolwich Ferry and commuter services of the Thames Clipper.
