Woodlands House and surrounding land was acquired by a Catholic novitiate order, the Little Sisters of the Assumption, after the end of the First World War.

[1] After the Little Sisters of the Assumption moved to Paddington in 1967, the properties and grounds were purchased by London Borough of Greenwich.

[1] During the early 2000s, Greenwich council sought fresh finance to maintain both Woodlands and Mycenae House.

Woodlands and a strip of land in the south and southwest corner of the grounds were sold in 2007 on a long lease to the Greenwich Steiner School.

[12] The Dell has a natural character, and is overgrown with brambles, with London Plane trees covered by ivy; it is primarily used by dog walkers.
