The Woolwich Ferry is a free ferry service that operates across the River Thames in London, connecting the areas of Woolwich and North Woolwich. It has been in operation since 1889 and provides an essential transport link for both vehicles and pedestrians, helping to ease road congestion in the region. The ferry consists of two main vessels, the Woolwich and the Royal Arsenal, which can carry cars, buses, and cyclists. The service runs regularly throughout the day, making it a convenient option for commuters and visitors traveling between the two banks of the river.
