  1. A 70s #TV star, #musician and #actor from #London has suffered life-changing #injuries following a #roadrage attack in #Beckton #EastLondon

    #MetPol have been unable to find the attacker due to lack of evidence (that area isn't so well covered by CCTV) - which worryingly means anyone driving there is at the mercy of any angry man who chooses to use #violence

  4. Since my previous Beckton offering got no traction, how about this one: Beckton Gas Works in the process of being dressed as Vietnam, for Kubrick's 'Full Metal Jacket'.

  6. Beckton Alps
    The 'Beckton Alps' is a gigantic slag heap - waste products from a town gas plant. There are rumours that there's an entire locomotive in there, but no-one dare excavate it, because it's so toxic. Given the 'Alps' name ironically. In the 90s, it was turned into an actual (artificial) ski slope, making fact out of fiction.
    These days, it's just a hill - used for BMX and the like.
