Although North Woolwich is on the Essex side of the Thames the area was administered with the rest of Woolwich after the aftermath of the 1066 conquest and so was once part of Kent. The name North Woolwich became part of Essex after the opening of the now closed railway station with that name in 1847. In 1888 it became part of the County of London and in 1965 became part of Greater London.

The Royal Oak building was serving beer 1872 and used to be two storeys but was bombed in the second World War. It closed in 2011 and in May 2017 a planning application was submitted to demolish the building and replace it with nine flats.
