I haven't had a good look around Woolwich (my birthplace) for what must be 30 years - I'll rectify that soon.
royal arsenal is very bougie. Rest of the town is slowly going that way, but much more stubbornly.
I am quite excited about the student halls coming in, there’s a couple of pubs (rose’s and elephant and castle) that are absolutely ripe for students, although their regulars might get a bit… punchy. The students will also love the market and cheap clothes there. Think that might help tip the place firmly into gentrification.

Roses - Number 35 in Time Out’s Top 50 pubs in London!!

Some fantastic pubs in that list - a very rich history and just amplifies how important it is to preserve as many as possible.
I’m always amused when I read the (many) digs at the Elephant. Yes, it looks old school, doesn’t sell food and possibly has an edgier clientele to, say the Dial Arch.
But it’s given RBG Licensing team and Licensing Police little or no grief over the years, certainly compared to other licensed premises in the area (eg O’Connors, Anglesey Arms and that place by the barrier). Actually does a decent trade particularly on a Saturday afternoon (And its owned and managed by Charlton fans !). In the current climate, fair play to the likes of the Elephant, Roses and the Earl of Chatham.

Glad Roses is still there, last did about two years ago. Was having a look round Woolwich and did the new pubs bars in the Dial Arch area. But wanted to visit at least one of the boozers from my youth. Though Plaisted`s was my favourite.

Wasn’t really a dig, just said the students who’ll live in Woolwich from next year (?) will love it.
I suppose “regulars getting a bit punchy” may not have been a dig but, as I say, it doesn’t seem to attract the trouble that other nearby places have. Not that I was really aiming my post at one specific post on here. I think it was called, “a hole” in earlier comments !!
