Introduction
Royal Arsenal Gardens is on the former site of Woolwich Power Station but is named for its association with the historic Royal Arsenal situated to the east. The small park has a conservation meadow with sculptures in stone, a skateboard park and playground. The power station operated from 1893-1978 and its coaling jetty remains at the river edge.
