Plumstead Common
Greenwich, London
Plumstead Common runs along the ridge south of the Plumstead High Street, a ward of Victorian terraces and 20th-century infill laid out around the large common itself and dropping down toward Shooters Hill. The whole ward sits within a conservation area and the natural environment score is strong, with the 42-hectare stretch of Oxleas Wood, part of the wider Oxleas Woodlands SSSI — an ancient deciduous woodland at least 8,000 years old — on the eastern edge, and nearly 93 hectares of green across the ward. Three listed buildings include the Grade II Plume of Feathers public house dating from the early 1700s, and seventeen outstanding schools are in reach. The trade-offs are serious: public-transport access is limited with no Tube, the safety score sits below average, housing affordability has weakened as the ward has been priced up by the Crossrail effect at Woolwich, and nightlife is thin.
