Turner Prize-nominated artist Pio Abad on his 'incredible and idiosyncratic' London neighbourhood

We moved to Woolwich in 2013. It’s a classic story of artists being priced out of areas in London: we lived in Brixton, then Peckham and then slowly made our way further south-east, ending up in Woolwich.

We live in the Royal Arsenal, which has a rich history. Back in the day, it would have been one of the more powerful areas of the British Empire. Now, it’s a lovely collection of flats and incredible, idiosyncratic historical buildings.
