About the Woolwich Front Room
The Woolwich Front Room (WFR) is a 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 and lots more activities.
Opened in 2022 and then 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.
GCDA runs WFR as a vibrant and friendly community hub. We have a cafe area serving delicious chef-made vegan and vegetarian food, an art gallery, multi-purpose rooms to hire, and we offer free drop-in activities often led by one of our volunteers.
We welcome your ideas and suggestions about how 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 about what’s happening in Woolwich.
