Hotels in Woolwich & the Royal Arsenal
Woolwich lies north of Eltham on the south bank of the Thames, and has changed a great deal since the Elizabeth line opened a station there. The Royal Arsenal — for centuries the Army's armament manufacturing and research site — has been redeveloped into housing, bars and a performing arts venue, and much of the historic ordnance architecture has been kept.
The Woolwich Ferry still crosses the river free of charge, and the Woolwich foot tunnel runs beneath it for pedestrians. London City Airport sits directly across the water, which is why several of the hotels in this part of the borough are aimed at people flying from there.

Closest to Eltham first. Room counts, facilities and ratings are what Google holds for each property, recorded October 2026 — we have not stayed in any of them, so you will find no opinions here, only what is on the record.
