Royal Arsenal Information

The Royal Arsenal is a former munitions site composed of warehouses, factories and parade grounds dating from 1761. It is set in wide open spaces right on the river Thames and has been beautifully landscaped by the developer to retain the original beauty and architecture of the site. A real sense of community has built up, (people actually talk to each other) and the development has become a little village on the Thames. With good neighbours and beautiful surroundings it is just a lovely place to live.
