Did you know?
"The largest sound ever heard in London was purportedly from an explosion from Brunner Mond Chemical Works in Silvertown near West Ham, where 50 tonnes of TNT exploded - a blast so large that it blew the windows of the Savoy hotel and almost overturned a taxi in Pall Mall."
Woolwich is affordable, it has great transport links, fantastic people and the new General Gordon Place is extraordinary.
