TRL Living Lab Woolwich and QEOP Testbed
TRLWoolwich, London
TRL’s current page explicitly says Smart Mobility Living Lab has been rebranded TRL Living Lab. It describes 24 km of monitored London roads, a Greenwich/Woolwich route and the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park setting in Stratford. Woolwich facilities include garaging/workshops, parking/charging, a control room and two open-architecture automated vehicles for hire. The network is a real public-road environment; the stated 5G connectivity is specifically in Greenwich and is not a 24 km private-track or universal coverage claim.

Testing capabilities
Monitored public-road mobility trials
The owner describes roadside monitoring and connectivity across 24 km of London roads, with a control room giving live feeds and options for data networking, storage, analysis and integration. Greenwich/Woolwich offers a complex urban route; QEOP Stratford provides a different open urban/campus setting. These are public-road environments rather than an exclusively hired closed track.
Woolwich vehicle setup and trial facilities
TRL lists secure garaging/workshops for several vehicles, some parking with charging, offices/meetingrooms and two open-architecture automated vehicles for hire. It says facilities can support sessions or R&D projects. Vehicle count and garaging description are qualitative capacity statements and do not assure availability for any proposed vehicle.
Greenwich 5G trial context
The owner states Virgin O2 provides 5G connectivity to the testbed in the London Borough of Greenwich and invites enquiries about using it. The original does not state that the same coverage extends throughout QEOP Stratford or every monitored road.
