A Residence Steeped in History
The Royal Military Academy is described by renowned architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner as “one of the most important pieces of military architecture in the country.”

Founded in 1808 and designed by architect James Wyatt, The Academy represents an important part of Britain's architectural and military heritage. When you own a beautifully converted property here, you are not simply buying a home, but becoming part of a site that offers a unique insight into the country's past.

The central building, facing the historic parade ground, was deliberately modelled on the White Tower at the Tower of London, contributing to the distinctive character of the development. Its architectural and historical importance is reflected in the fact that much of the campus is now Grade II listed*.

The Academy's history is equally fascinating. Its grounds once served as an elite training facility for members of royalty from around the world, including Louis-Napoléon, Prince Imperial of France (Napoleon IV). The site was also home to pioneering physicist Michael Faraday, who taught and conducted scientific research here during his 20 years as a professor.

Today, the dramatic architecture and historic setting have given The Academy another distinguished role, with the development frequently used as a backdrop for major film and television productions.

The Location
Combining an extraordinary historical setting with the convenience of modern London living, The Royal Military Academy is ideally positioned in Woolwich, with a wide range of shops, restaurants and amenities close by.

The development also benefits from excellent transport connections, including Woolwich Elizabeth Line, DLR and National Rail services, while the wider Royal Arsenal Riverside area provides an ever-growing selection of restaurants, cafés, leisure facilities and riverside spaces.

A truly distinctive home, offering contemporary living within one of London's most historically significant residential settings.
