Windsor Square, London SE18

Clean and crisp design shapes this contemporary one-bedroom apartment, set in a Grade II-listed former warehouse on the historic Royal Arsenal site in Woolwich, south-east London. The building was transformed in 2022 by the celebrated practice Corstophine & Wright, which has been ranked 10th in the prestigious AJ100. The home sits moments from Woolwich station (Elizabeth line) and has access to a comprehensive wellness and entertainment centre, The Waterside Club, membership to which is included in the annual service charge.



The Development



The regeneration of the Royal Arsenal, which began in 2001, has brought about a remarkable transformation of this historic riverside quarter. A carefully designed masterplan has introduced 3,500 new homes, sympathetically converted 23 listed buildings, and enriched the landscape by planting 500+ trees.



Community remains at the heart of the area’s evolution, supported by a range of amenities including a pharmacy, dentist, health centre, and nursery.



The Tour



Set on the fourth floor of the building (formerly the Royal Carriage factory), the apartment is accessed via lift or stairs from its immaculate atrium communal space into an indoor corner corridor. Entry is to a spacious hallway at the centre of the plan, where deep cupboards provide storage for coats and shoes. Playful geometric tiles run underfoot.



The living space is on the right, with double doors opening onto a private balcony. Filled with light, the room has a peaceful atmosphere and is versatile in design. Smart light-green kitchen units line one wall and are topped with grey counters that lend an industrial feel. Appliances are integrated and include a Bosch oven, hob, full-size dishwasher, fridge and freezer. White walls are paired with engineered oak floorboards - a timeless, unobtrusive combination that makes the room ripe for personalisation.



Placed at the other end of the home, the bedroom is a quiet retreat, with a large window that makes it wonderfully bright. A built-in wardrobe stretches from floor to ceiling, carving out a generous space to hang clothes.



The same playful floor tiles used in the hallway continue in the bathroom, a pristine space that prioritises clean architectural lines. A cherry-red door provides a pop of colour and acts as a counterpoint to the sleek black sink taps and showerhead above the bathtub.



Included in the home’s service charge is membership to The Waterside Club, a site with a gym, sauna, steam room, pool/ and cinema, exclusive to residents of the building.



Outdoor Space



Extending from the east side of the apartment, the balcony receives a lovely morning light. It has enough room to sit and dine outside and to arrange a compact potted garden.



An arresting outdoor atrium surrounds the building, creating a leafy feel and offering spaces to gather in the warmer months.



The Area



Woolwich has evolved into a dynamic cultural and culinary hub, with a growing selection of restaurants, cafés, and bars surrounding the station. Salt Pizza is known as a favourite among the building's residents.



The River Thames is just moments away, with its meandering path offering an escape from the urban landscape. Walk east to Gallions Reach Park for views back towards the city. For moments of stillness indoors, The Yoga Space offers classes with a sublime waterside view.



Woolwich Works stands as a cornerstone of the area’s creative resurgence - a purpose-built cultural destination with a diverse calendar of events and an inviting café. The Artillery Square Farmers’ Market, held on the second and last Saturday of each month, brings together local produce and artisanal goods, fostering a strong sense of community.



Woolwich is exceptionally well-connected, with the DLR and the Elizabeth line offering swift access to Canary Wharf, the City, and the West End. London City Airport is also conveniently close. Woolwich Arsenal station is minutes away and runs Thameslink and Southeastern services. The Thames Clipper (Uber) is also close by.
