Design
The National Rail part of the station consists of two above-ground platforms. The up platform for London has a refreshment facility. The down platform serves trains going east, towards north Kent, via Plumstead, Abbey Wood and Slade Green.
The Docklands Light Railway part of the station is underground, and consists of two platforms in an island platform configuration. As Woolwich Arsenal is a terminus, both platforms serve an up line to Bank via London City Airport, Canning Town and Poplar. Trains depart in the eastbound direction due to the curve under the River Thames.

A design for living
Deeper into matter—
