The Woolwich Front Room
About the Front Room
The Woolwich Front Room is a new community space in Woolwich town centre. Managed by GCDA, the Front Room is a flexible, affordable space for the local community to use for meetings, events, workshops, hotdesking and lots more activities!
Funded by Historic England’s High Streets Heritage Action Zone initiative, and the Royal Borough of Greenwich, the Front Room is a place for creativity, collaboration, learning and engagement, to help attract people into Woolwich . Backed by government funding, the Heritage Action Zone scheme aims to revitalise local high streets, by encouraging new ways to use historic buildings, making public spaces more attractive and welcoming, and delivering arts and cultural events for the local community.
We welcome your ideas and suggestions about how the Woolwich Front Room can benefit the local community. So feel free to pop in, share your ideas, network with other local people and find out more about what’s happening in Woolwich.

The perfect host
Cllr Thomas and Sarah, who runs the Woolwich Front Room and very kindly spared me a bit of time to give a guided tour
This area is where you step into when you enter. It’s a multi-use space for community groups, small-scale meetings, or get-togethers. It has a kitchenette and off to the right there’s a long hallway that runs to the back of the building - a great place to display art!
Hot & cold drinks available
I don’t drink coffee but that’s not a problem - Sarah has delicious cordials on offer, including Ginger & Lemongrass for only 50p a glass.
Perfect for a hot summer day!
This amazing space is available for rent at an incredible £25 per hour - in the heart of Woolwich town center!
PS - most of the furniture has been upcycled
Hotdesking overspill or pop-up dining area for rent. Can be available free to startups, for things like meetings.
