Watch out for

• Opportunistic phone snatching by passing mopeds and bicycles can occur along nearby busy thoroughfares such as Woolwich New Road and Powis Street.
• The vicinity of Woolwich Arsenal station and surrounding bus stops experiences late-night rowdiness and occasional alcohol-fueled anti-social behavior.
• Nearby riverside footpaths and poorly lit pedestrian alleys can feel desolate after dark, making well-lit main routes preferable at night.
