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.
