The Woolwich market
The Elizabeth line transformed Woolwich’s connectivity — Canary Wharf in 8 minutes, the City in 15 — and the market is still digesting it. The Royal Arsenal riverside development anchors the new Woolwich, with the historic town centre regenerating behind it.
Stock ranges from Arsenal new-builds to Victorian terraces on the hill, with a meaningful price gap between the two.
The investor angle
A connectivity-arbitrage play: indicative yields of 5.5–6.5% on a station that moved Woolwich from Zone 4 obscurity to core-London commute times. Terraces away from the riverside still price in little of the Crossrail effect.
