Abbey Wood shops shut as Peabody development plans proceed

Chivas Chicken shop and a newsagent opposite Sainsbury’s in Abbey Wood have closed after being being issued with a Compulsory Purchase Order due to incoming redevelopment.

I've lived in south east London most of my life growing up in Greenwich borough and working in the area for many years. The site has contributors on occasion and we cover many different topics. Living and working in the area offers an insight into what is happening locally.

One thought on “Abbey Wood shops shut as Peabody development plans proceed

  • One of the houses next door to these two shops had been hanging a sign from the upstairs window protesting against Peabody and the CPOs for the past several months. I’d be unhappy to lose my home, too (even with adequate compensation), especially as this row of houses/shops is clearly part of the same estate as the rest of Overton Road and predates the rest of Thamesmead by at least thirty years!
