Abbey Wood
Abbey Wood is a district of South East London in the London Boroughs of Greenwich and Bexley. It gets its name from Lesnes Abbey Wood, which used to belong to the monks of Lesnes Abbey. It is placed south of Thamesmead and is 10.6 miles east of Charing Cross. Abbey Wood has a population of no more than 24,000 and is said to be a quiet area.
The district is popular amongst commuters; it has an average age of 34 and its railway station was built in 1849 and today it accommodates services to Charing Cross, Cannon Street and districts in Kent as a loop service. There are also buses that go to Thamesmead, Lewisham and Peckham.
Abbey Wood is recognised for its caravan park positioned amongst the Abbey Woods. The woods have a park and a football pitch, and the neighbouring Bostall Gardens and Bostall Heath provide lots of sports facilities. An area of the woods is a site of special scientific interest because it has fossils that are from 23-66 million years ago.
