The Abbey of St Mary and St Thomas the Martyr at Lesnes was founded in 1178 by Richard de Luci, Chief Justiciar of England. The Abbot of Lesnes Abbey played a significant role in draining marshland but faced chronic financial difficulties due to the cost of maintaining river embankments. It was closed by Cardinal Wolsey in 1525, and the monastic buildings were all pulled down except for the Abbot's Lodging. The site was acquired by Henry Cooke in 1541 and passed to Sir John Hippersley before being sold to Thomas Hawes of London in 1632. The property was then bequeathed to Christ's Hospital in 1633. Abbey Wood, named after the ruined Lesnes Abbey, was opened in 1849 and is located north of the area now known as "The Village." The Village consisted of a dozen or so cottages, two pubs, the Abbey Arms (next to the railway station) and the Harrow Inn (demolished in 2009). The Harrow Inn was the scene of a nightly migration as drinkers would relocate to the Abbey Arms each night. Abbey Wood was suggested as a site for a cemetery serving east London during a time of burial crisis in the capital. Edwin Chadwick proposed the closure of all existing burial grounds in the vicinity of London, except for the privately owned Kensal Green Cemetery northwest of the city, and a large tract of land on the Thames around 9 miles southeast of London in Abbey Wood. However, the Treasury was sceptical about the feasibility of Chadwick's scheme and it was abandoned in 1852. Between 1955 and 1959, the London County Council built the Abbey Estate, which consisted of conventional brick houses with gardens, shops, pubs, schools, and open spaces. Transport was non-existent at first until one bus, route 180, was added after the building of Eynsham bridge. The estate was used to rehouse people from Dockhead and Peckham, then London's East End. In the mid-1960s, the Greater London Council began building the first phase of Thamesmead on more ex-Royal Arsenal land, north-east of Abbey Wood station. Crossrail, renamed The Elizabeth line, opened in 2022, with travel times of 11 minutes to Canary Wharf and 25 minutes to Bond Street.
