West Thamesmead is the section of the estate closest to Woolwich and Abbey Wood. It's seen more new-build development than the eastern parts, with Peabody pushing ahead with regeneration. Abbey Wood Elizabeth line station is the nearest rail link. The same Thamesmead issues apply: limited local shops, bus-dependent, but lots of green space around the lakes.
