Abbey Wood
Abbey Wood is a residential area 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 situated south of Thamesmead and is 10.6 miles east of Charing Cross. Abbey Wood has a population of a little under 24,000 and is known to be a quiet area.
The district is popular amongst commuters; it has an average age of 34 and its railway station was opened in 1849 and today it runs services to Charing Cross, Cannon Street and boroughs in Kent as a loop service. There are also buses that connect it with Thamesmead, Lewisham and Peckham.
Abbey Wood is recognised for its caravan park situated amongst the Abbey Woods. The woods provide 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.
