Down in the sleepy hamlet of Woolwich, there's an excitement buzzing around. Folk are chattering about the resurgence of the Woolwich Grand Theatre¹. I've not followed their developments too closely, but it seems they are aiming to bring cultural live entertainment to Woolwich once more, and what a great thing once this comes to fruition. Woolwich needs a place to focus the many creative minds and talents of this little settlement, especially so as it's perceived as a dour area. In years to come, Londinium will grow beyond Holborn and encompass rural communities like Woolwich and when that era cometh, art could easily be forgotten.
On the other hand, there is already a bubbling creative scene up the hill in Plumsteadshire. And what do such 'with-it' folk enjoy? Live comedy which is just as well because this Saturday is comedy night at The Pavilion. You'd be a fool to miss it.

Hi totally off thread but can anyone recommend child minders in the area?
Popped in The Grand Theatre cafe today for a Cup of Tea and Bacon Sarnie, after welcoming the King's Troop to Woolwich. The proposals for the Grand Theatre are fantastic, but they need help and support from all areas of the community, particularly the Council!!
Doctor, you need to police your comments more closley. Most of them are completely unrelated to the post!
