Churches of the British Isles

The Slade Evangelical Church occupies the south-east corner of The Slade and Ravine Grove in Plumstead. It was opened as The People's Hall in 1880, and in 1902 a gallery and new front were added to the previously somewhat functional building. The hall closed or was transferred to the current Evangelical church seemingly around 1985, but the claim of continuity from 1880 on the church's official website suggests that the only change was in the name.

Woolwich Cemetery Chapel sits in the cemetery grounds close to the southern side of King's Highway, with the cemetery bordered to the west by Kingsdale Road and to the south by Camdale Road. The land was formerly part of Plumstead Common, with the 'Old Cemetery' being opened in 1856. It was soon full, so a new cemetery was opened on its eastern flank in 1885 along with the current chapel. Workers killed in explosions at the Royal Arsenal are buried here.
