Good for my birthplace. Better transport to London City Airport, Canary Wharf and the City has to be good for employment and people commuting into Woolwich will hopefully spend some money and boost local shops.
Any news on the army closing Chelsea barracks and moving the squadies back to Woolwich. More spending and more potential fans at the Valley.
[cite]Posted By: InspectorSands[/cite]People won't commute into Woolwich, though. They'll be getting out of it.
Estate agents are excited, because it'll be easier for Canary Wharf workers. And more Foxtons minis for the rest of us to throw stones at.
It's done Lewisham good, but I'm not sure that a single stop south of the river's going to be as good for Woolwich.
May been people busing or driving into Woolwich and then getting on the DLR. These people may shop or drink in Woolwich. Hard to think of Woolwich being yuppified but you never know with all the building on the old Arsenal site.
[cite]Posted By: InspectorSands[/cite]It's definitely yuppified behind that brick wall around the Arsenal. The residents will have a fit when the wall comes down.
Is the wall not listed? It was built by convicts living on the hulks in the centre of the river before being shipped off to Aus.
When I see a wine bar on Beresford Square then I'll believe that it is yuppified.
Tell me about it. Had an appointment in woolwich yesterday afternoon, came away feeling terribly depressed. The people look grey and worn down with misery. okay im sure not everyone is miserable who lives there and nice to see the market still thriving.
Had a nice latte in the Gunfire cafe tho but then a miserable walk along the riverfront in the drizzling rain. god this weather is shite house!

is the same place as woolwich arsenal or somewere else
just behind Woolwich Arsenal station I think. Certainly the traffic in Burrage rd is held up by sinking shafts etc.
Not sure if the rail station and DLR station are linked.

When all the smaller shops are driven out by it?
The wall can't be listed, they knocked a bit of it down in the 80s anyway.
i will miss those pound shops.
And the butcher's. And the baker's. And the clothes shops.
And then there'll be even more pound shops. And a big empty space where there used to be a market.
