Woolwich, with its strong military association, is a large residential area covered by postcode SE18 within the London Borough of Greenwich. Woolwich is located close to the Millennium Dome and within a five minute drive of the A2, giving quick access to the M25. And although Woolwich is in a London postcode it is very close to rural Kent, so finding open space is only a short drive away. Woolwich is being touted by some estate agents as south London's 'next big thing', and on closer inspection, with Woolwich selected as the venue for shooting events at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games, improving transport links and new developments on the Royal Arsenal site, this is fast becoming a reality, and house prices are already increasing. If you are considering searching for property to rent in Woolwich, as well as waterside developments of apartments at Royal Arsenal, there is also a mixture of Victorian terraced houses and council blocks of flats to rent in Woolwich. Families who are searching for houses to rent in Woolwich will find larger Victorian properties in the area around Woolwich Common.
