The South East England / London region

This area of England has long been a favoured place to live since before the Romans who developed Londinium or London as it's now known. The two local areas of Greenwich and Woolwich (one meaning "Green Harbour" and the other "Wool Harbour" in old Saxon English) have long been important. The English Kings had their Palaces here alongside the river. These later became military academies and hospitals and are now protected as museums and areas of great historic significance.

The transport links from this part of London are second to none. You can take the tube, train or boat to an amazing variety of destinations. One change to Camden or Richmond and Kew Gardens. If you wish to visit further afield to Brighton for instance, you need only change once at London Bridge.

The Central London/Zone 2 / Greenwich area

Set in this Historic Conservation Area stretching along the River Thames in the Royal Borough of Greenwich. The Royal Arsenal and Military Academy date back to the 15th century. The Historic Royal Artillery Buildings and Museum are overlooked by The Hall.

There are also grass areas along the river 1min walk away or so.. you can sit on these and have a picnic. Traffic is very limited in The Royal Arsenal, the speed limit is 5mph (8kph), most of the area is Pedestrian only. 21 Gun Salute Fired from Parade Square near house on the Queen's birthday.

Thames river boat service leaves from a pier just by house direct to Westminster, it also stops at the O2, Canary Wharf, Tower of London and other places. A tube link under river direct to London City Airport 5 mins (DLR), continues on to Canary Wharf and Tower of London. Trains go direct through Greenwich to Charring Cross passing London Bridge, or to Waterloo. The Station, town centre and market are less than 5 mins walk, as are restaurants, cafes and a vibrant fruit market. The Thames walkway goes past the house as does a Thames cycle route.

“Perfect House for a relaxed weekend with family” I had booked a surprise weekend for my partners birthday and unfortunately just 4 days before the event our original Penthouse booking was cancelled by the Company; Luckily I came across The Royal Academy Hall and contacted Adrian who was absolutely brilliant, and managed to have our booked confirmed just 12 hours after first contact. On arrival Adrian met us and gave us a very informative talk about the House and the surroundings including where to go for dinner/breakfast, and this made us feel really at home and confident that our weekend was going to be brilliant. The House is in a very quiet area, yet there is still a lovely pub/restaurant just around the corner called the 'Dial Arch', we went there for dinner and the food, atmosphere and service was amazing. There was a very large group of us in the House but there was plenty of room for everyone, and the lovely outdoor terrace upstairs was fantastic for a bit of fresh air. The House has all the neccessary bits and pieces including an iron and a hair dryer which came in very handy, along with enough cups, glasses, cutlery, plates and bowls for everyone. All beds were very comfy and we had 2 lovely nights sleep. I can't thank Adrian more for making our stay really memorable, and I would reccommend this House to anyone hoping to be in a great London location with a large group of friends or family. I certainly hope we will be able to stay again in the future. Louise.

“Very big and spacious although really only comfortably sleeps 2 couples” The property itself is in a lovely area conveniently located close to the DLR station (last stop Woolwich Arsenal) and it has a number of other transport links nearby. A couple of complaints however - The property was advertised as able to sleep 10 people with sofa beds and single beds available. There were absolutely no sofa beds at all and the 'single' beds were simply fold out springs with very thin mattresses on it.... there were 4 of us in total staying at the house - 1 couple and 2 singles. Unfortunately for our friend he stayed on the fold out single bed which wasn't the greatest. The other thing is that the property is advertised as being in Zone 2 Greenwich which it is not. For our purposes this wasn't a major issue however being that it was located in zone 4 instead (Woolwich Arsenal) it did mean the Oyster card was running out of money fast. This may be a real problem for anyone on a bit of a travelling cost budget. Other than that the house was fairly clean (although we did have to supply our own toilet paper as there wasn't any spare) and apart from some dirty dishes in the cupboard overall it was a pleasant stay. I will say that the heating in the property is VERY efficient and we were amazed at how warm it was of an evening. Lovely big space with good deco and would be ideal for 2 couples and a group (if extras don't mind sleeping on the sofas). Would recommend but suggest that the descriptions of the sleeping arrangements and Zone location be updated.

“Perfect Blend of History and Convenience” To stay in London in a Historical building while in a neighborhood environment with local pubs and markets yet still a simple and easy boat river ride from all of London's main tourist sites is an attempt to describe a stay at the Royal Arsenal. What can I say more that I plan to return here yearly! Simply Wonderful!
