Neighbourhood Description
London, United Kingdom
According to English Heritage's, Survey of London, 'the Royal Arsenal is among Britain's most important historic sites.'
The development is a mix of historic structures dating back to the 18th Century and award winning new buildings. Art and artifacts are sprinkled throughout the development and a river walk runs the length of the development in front of the Thames. Our home overlooks the Thames River and many of the Grade II Listed buildings in the gated Heritage Quarter. Our building was used to store military provisions for the Royal Navy and was built in the 19th century. Over the centuries, the Royal Arsenal has influenced the unfolding of world history. For Americans, "the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air," came from the Royal Arsenal. It very much feels like the set of a BBC Period Drama as you walk around and relax in our home. But of course, our home and the area offers all of the modern conveniences of the 21st Century!
Although, a London neighbourhood, the Arsenal feels like a village, and you will generally find the people you interact with much friendlier than most in London--especially where our home is located. It's that famous East End welcome! and the fact that many of us moved to the Arsenal because of the community feeling it fosters and expects of all of us.
Has all that history made you hungry? There are 3 supermarkets & 5 restaurants, cafes and pubs within minutes of your door--all within the Royal Arsenal. Many mor
