=== Woolwich Dockyard and Riverside === {{main|Woolwich Dockyard|Woolwich Riverside}} At Woolwich Dockyard relatively little of historic interest remains. The main monumental building complex comprises a small cluster of 18th-century buildings: the entrance gate, the guardhouse and the so-called Clock House (Dockyard offices). A pair of 19th-century [[Dry dock|docks]] remain on the site of their 16th-century predecessors. The later development of the Dockyard in the [[Victorian period]] is represented by the Steam Factory and the Dockyard chimney, a prominent landmark, and further west by a group of buildings at the site of the [[Siemens Brothers]] factory. Between the Arsenal and the Dockyard lies an area that was once Old Woolwich, a part of the town where little of historical interest remains and that, once again, is facing redevelopment. The round entrance building of the [[Woolwich foot tunnel]] dates from 1912. Further west, the [[Thames Barrier]] is an interesting example of modern architecture and technical achievement. The [[Thames Path]] is a [[National Trails|National Trail]] that connects these sites. <gallery widths="140" heights="140"> File:London, Woolwich Dockyard, gatehouse 1.jpg|Woolwich Dockyard entrance gate File:London, Woolwich Dockyard, 1840s chimney 3.jpg|The Dockyard chimney File:WoolwichTunnelSouthEntrance.jpg|Entrance building [[Woolwich foot tunnel]] File:Thames Barrier (14802757784).jpg|[[Thames Barrier]] </gallery>
