It's easy travelling around the Royal Borough using public transport.

Buses and trains

You can catch a bus to central London from Blackheath, Charlton, Greenwich and Woolwich. You can also travel to local destinations, such as Eltham and Plumstead, from Greenwich. If you're travelling further afield, board a coach from Greenwich to Victoria Coach Station.

If you prefer travelling by train, the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) provides links to London City Airport, ExCeL, Stratford and central London. Local stations are Greenwich, Cutty Sark and Woolwich Arsenal.

The only London Underground station in the borough is North Greenwich, on the Jubilee Line. Situated next to The O2, you can travel to Stratford or through central London to Stanmore.

The new Crossrail, known as the Elizabeth line, passes through the borough in December 2019, with stations at Abbey Wood and Woolwich.

Cable car from North Greenwich

If you want to try something different, board the Emirates Air Line cable car at North Greenwich and cross the River Thames to the Royal Docks.
