Abbey Wood is a residential district located in the southeast of London, straddling the boundary of the Royal Borough of Greenwich and the London Borough of Bexley. The area is perhaps best known for its historic links to Lesnes Abbey and for its rapidly changing character since the arrival of the Elizabeth line, enhancing its connectivity and appeal. Once considered on the outer edge of London, Abbey Wood has grown in profile as a commuter-friendly hub, offering a mix of late Victorian, interwar, and modern homes surrounded by plentiful green spaces.
