Post or Ask something here in 'plumstead' plumstead New restaurantsI see there are going to be two new restaurants on the High Street towards the station. Once is Nepolese/Indian (although it says a restaurant/club)? in what was the Lord Derby pub and the other is the King's restaurant. Doesnt say what it is going to be but looks like another chinese/indian. Great that new restaurants are coming but the area already has a ton of these. We could really do with some alternative outlets - Italian, Greek, Bistro, Gastropub etc. Also up on the Common! Post reply -->London plumstead Sarah 18 Feb ^ plumsteadIm guessing the King's Restaurant is an African type restaurant. I pass it everyday and there are only Africans which Ive seen going in and waiting outside, but decor is luxury and very decent on the outside.

Is there a high street with the usual shops i.e. Boots/ Superdrugs/ Primark? And where is the closes supermarket? Thanks, Post reply -->London plumstead 22 Jan ^ plumstead hiThe shopping situation is ok, there is now a Tesco Express, Somerfields, and Icelands. There are quite a few pharmacys and there is a boots. If you want more other shops like Sainsburys and Marks & Spencers , there are these shops in neighbouring Woolwich Town Centre, Woolwich also has Primark, Peacocks, BLU INC, NewLook, Burtons and many more in town centre. There is also a Morissons in neighbouring Thamesmead which the roads are very good dual carriage going and coming to Plumstead. Plumstead is mainly a residential area, while Woolwich focuses more on commercial shops. Post reply -->London plumstead 25 Jan |
 | plumstead buy or not to buyHi, I recently viewed a couple of houses in plumstead, first time i have been in the area. I really liked one on Griffin road, as alot of folk on here I am looking for some lowdown on the area. I have read a few threads and get the feeling the area is full of people just waiting for the place to explode into a cool and vibrant place to live, as with all good things i am sure this will come. In the meantime is the travel reliaable to central london from plumsted station? Is it a safe area? Some folk in work seen to think its quite rough? Has the property prices consistently risen over the past 3 years? Not many questions LOL - just enough to continue my search in the area or move to another part of the city thanks in advance folks Post reply -->London plumstead ross 14 Jan ^ plumstead PlumsteadI've grown up in plumstead and it really isn't at all bad! theres a few areas to look out for at night like gyldon and the dip on the common but i've personally had no problem at all and i'm 18. To the person thinking of moving to griffen hill i'd say you will have no problem there theres been no trouble at all that i can think of on that actuall road the only thing i would say is the parking isn't brillant and the roads quite busy. i live 2 roads away and it's a much quieter road! so if possible try another road. anyone know of any jobs going in plumstead, would be great to have a job so close to home! Post reply -->London plumstead 16 Jan ^ plumsteadThe house prices are going up here, especially with major developments in neighbouring areas Woolwich, new DLR stationa and Crossrail (one of the most expensive rail project) from West London through Central London to East London, which a branch comes to Woolwich to Abbeywood. The transport from Plumstead Station is good, going to Cannon Street, London Bridge and Charing Cross. The area is safe , im 18 and born in Plumstead. the area doesn't have many areas to what a bad youth would loitter around, so they live in other areas like crime hotspots. The people here are nice Post reply -->London plumstead 25 Jan ^ plumstead^ plumstead jobsany part time job really! i'm at six form at the moment so any part time job would be great!

I walk past it en route to the station and had seen the work going on there. It's on the side that the firestation is on just before the road forks. I've been in there a fair few times now and it's lovely! The people running it seem friendly and anxious that everyone is happy. Good coffee and a nice vibe. Most importantly it seems to be a local enterprise and it's not a souless chain. Not that I'm rabidly anti the starbucks of this world but it's so nice to see something with character. I'm really hoping this little place stays so I'm doing my bit to encourage you all to go! Post reply -->London plumstead AMS 4 Oct ^ plumstead Daily 5I've been there also, drinks are very reasonably priced. It's good to get a decent coffee in Plumstead, frozen yoghurts are yummy too. I'm def going to be supporting this business. Post reply -->London plumstead 4 Oct ^ plumstead YumYes it is lovely, shame for me that I live on the other side of the Common so I have to walk up that massive hill to get home but I have been and it is nice and not too expensive either. Am also really pleased with the Tesco. Things are looking up! Post reply -->London plumstead 5 Oct ^ plumstead And now a mini police stationA few doors down from Daily 5 is a police station now. Also a restaurant is opening on the highstreet where the pub once was. Post reply -->London plumstead Sam 27 Oct ^ plumstead Oh,I haven't seen it yet, will check it out tomorrow! Saw a nice cafe opposite Lidl in Woolwich today, called Viet Cafe or something like that, which I will try as well. Post reply -->London plumstead Kris 7 Oct ^ plumstead restaurant?!!Please tell me it is a proper restaurant or even a chain one! Like Nando's, Pizza Express (even Pizza Hut) or a lovely cosy bistro serving steaming bowls of pasta.. Basically anything other than Indian, Chinese, Kebabs, fried chicken, or the other takeaway rot that is in endless supply. (some of the takeaways are good but it would be lovely to have some options and somewhere to sit in and eat rather than going to the dome).
