The Woolwich Ferry links the two halves of the London North Circular and South Circular ring roads.

rail

Woolwich Arsenal Railway Station is on the North Kent Line, serving London (typical travel time 30 minutes) one way and Dartford and the Medway in the other direction. It is served by Southeastern Rail.

There are a number of future plans for rail in the Woolwich area:

Docklands Light Railway
Transport for London are currently constructing an extension of the London City Airport branch of the Docklands Light Railway from its current terminus at King George V to Woolwich Arsenal. Due to the technical challenges of boring a tunnel under the Thames, the plan is not expected to be completed until 2009. Work started in December 2005 when the extension to King George V was complete.

During the 2012 Olympic Games the station will be used by spectators to journey to the shooting events being held at the nearby Royal Artillery Barracks. DLR trains from the station will connect directly to the London Olympic Park at Stratford International.

Future Arrangement
Preceding station Docklands Light Railway Following station King George V towards Bank, Tower Gateway or Stratford International Docklands Light Railway Terminus

A new Crossrail station will be opened in Woolwich after a vigorous campaign to include it in the scheme run by Greenwich council and Berkeley Homes. Woolwich railway station will be located around 200m north of Woolwich Arsenal station on the north side of the A206.
