Travel by Public Transport
For longer distance journeys in Greenwich, public transport offers a convenient and cost-effective alternative to travelling by car alone.
When you consider the true cost of owning and running a car – including purchase price, fuel, tax, insurance, maintenance and parking – switching to public transport can make a real difference to your household budget. Weekly or monthly travelcards also offer significant savings compared with paying for individual journeys. If your household has two cars, you might even consider becoming a one-car family and using public transport more often.
Greenwich is exceptionally well connected. Transport for London operates frequent bus services throughout the borough, linking neighbourhoods such as Greenwich, Woolwich, Eltham and Thamesmead with central London and surrounding areas.
Rail and DLR services provide fast connections across the capital and beyond. From Greenwich Station and Woolwich Arsenal Station you can access National Rail and Docklands Light Railway services to central London, Canary Wharf and other key destinations. North Greenwich Station on the Jubilee line offers direct Underground links to London Bridge, Waterloo and the West End.
The Elizabeth line from Woolwich provides high-speed connections to Canary Wharf, the City, the West End and Heathrow Airport, making longer journeys quicker and easier than ever.
