Woolwich Common, Military heritage park in Woolwich, England
Located on the northern slope of Shooter's Hill, the expansive green space combines military training grounds with public recreational areas covering 80 acres.
The Royal Artillery Barracks, constructed between 1774 and 1776, transformed the character of Woolwich Common from grazing land to a military installation site.
The common functions as part of the South East London Green Chain, connecting multiple parks while maintaining its dual role as military grounds and public space.
The park remains accessible throughout the day, featuring walking paths, cycling routes, and dedicated areas for outdoor activities near the Royal Artillery Barracks.
The Royal Artillery Barracks alongside the common presents the longest continuous Georgian facade in London, stretching across the northern boundary of the park.
