Everyone should take the Woolwich Ferry once in their life and now's your chance. It's free! Find out why.

Everyone should take the Elizabeth Line and not just for fun. Now's your chance as we end our walk at the Woolwich station. The area was thriving until the arsenal closed after hundreds of years of armaments manufacture and there are many remnants of its history here for us to see.

Hear the story of the convicts who built the site and see their memorial. We'll take in the park sponsored by queen Victoria for the people living in such dreary surroundings, find out how the owner of the local pleasure gardens escaped his creditors and experience one of the first tunnels under the Thames.

Before then it was the royal dockyard where the greatest ships set sail until they got stuck in the silt. Hear how the factory's football club ended up in north London, how the greatest bare knuckle fighter Tom Cribb stopped parliament and the nation in its tracks following his fight for the country's pride.
