The Heritage of Royal Arsenal
Royal Arsenal has played an important role in British history for more than five centuries. Originally established by Henry VIII in 1512, the site developed into one of the country's most significant military manufacturing centres.
For over 200 years, Woolwich was home to factories and laboratories producing artillery and munitions for the armed forces. At its peak, the Royal Arsenal covered around 1,300 acres and employed approximately 100,000 people.
Due to its strategic importance, the area was often omitted from public maps and became known as the "Secret City", a nickname that remains an important part of its identity today.
This rich heritage gives Gunnery Works a unique setting, blending historic architecture with modern workspace designed for today's businesses.
