Charlton, Residential district in southeast Greenwich, England.
The neighborhood extends along the south bank of the Thames River between Greenwich Park and Woolwich Common, featuring traditional English architecture.
Charlton transformed from a Kentish village mentioned in the 1086 Domesday Book as Cerletone into a London suburb after joining the metropolitan area in 1855.
The district maintains strong connections to local sports through Charlton Athletic Football Club, which has represented the community since its establishment in 1905.
The area provides direct rail connections to London Bridge station with journey times between 16 and 27 minutes, operating up to eight trains per hour.
A mulberry tree planted in 1608 at Charlton House stands as a reminder of early English silk production attempts during the Jacobean period.
