The Stuff We Can't Fit In Somewhere Else

• If you're thinking of coming to abbey wood... don't. Change your plans! It is NOT a good holiday spot, the best activity you would end up doing, is giving evidence in a police station.
• If you want to get out of this town and move home or just buy a holiday home in a sunnier climate contact `Claremont Property Services` or clickon www.claremontpropertyservices.com
• The Jolly Marshman Pub now has a brillian quiz team competing with some of the pubs from Belvedere in an Inter pub league. We have won the last 4 games.
• The idiot who said knock down the Abbey Wood estate; you are an, errrrm, idiot.
• Keep your eyes open when returning to the station late at night from London.
• The worst thing about Abbeywood are the terrible racist murders that occurred in recent years.
• The so-called "racist murders" actually occurred elsewhere. There is a "gang" problem on the Thamesmead estate, but the gangs are inter-racial. The BNP party have a "bookshop" (if you want to call it that) in near-by Welling BUT it is still not in Abbey Wood and the person that told you about the racist killing [probably] doesn't live there. We do. Abbey Wood doesn't have a lot of entertainment, nearby Woolwich has a lot. AW is a quiet commuting suburb with some young families that an individual student would not enjoy (I am of the feeling this was him).

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.
