Woolwich Fire Station is a Grade II listed building at 24 Sunbury, Woolwich, London.[1]
It was built in 1887, and the architect was Robert Pearsall.[1] It was London's second-oldest operational fire station, with crews at one time using its five-storey octagonal watchtower[1] to spot fires in the surrounding area.[2]
The fire station closed in January 2014 under mayor Boris Johnson's Fifth London Safety Plan.[2] In 2016 it was given planning permission to be converted into flats.[3]
