a squat lasting 715 days, one of more than twenty houses occupied in support of residents fighting against the demolition of the Lesnes Estate in Thamesmead. The spaces hosted assemblies, exhibitions, film screenings, design workshops, talks, dinner parties and mediation – shared with antagonism, inspiration, the banal, affection, disillusionment, hope and refuge.

#Transport for #London Have Your Say:
Thamesmead bus lane, walking and cycling proposals. #TfL is consulting on changes to roads between #Woolwich and Abbey Wood via #Thamesmead to improve bus journeys, cycling routes and pedestrian safety. Plans include new 24/7 bus lanes, upgraded bus stops, segregated cycle lanes, pedestrian crossings, and junction alterations at Plumstead Road, Western Way, Central Way and Carlyle Road. Speed limits would be reduced and roundabouts downsized to enhance safety. The proposals aim to support new SL11 bus services, encourage active travel, and complement future DLR and cycle network expansions. Consultation closes 15 January 2026.

Here's someone who really, really doesn't want you to park in front of his garage.

I sympathise.

If Thamesmead is known for anything it's as a dsytopian location in Clockwork Orange. But it's very green with waterways, paths and well landscaped open spaces.

Here's a #heron.

Great piece about the history of #Thamesmead, the brutalist "cockney riviera" which was once the future of #PublicHousing; how and why it declined; and above all, how and why its architectural regeneration has mostly been a series of missed opportunities.

The waterside new town on the outskirts of London was marvelled at in the 60s and used as the setting for A Clockwork Orange. But as decades passed it fell into neglect and now the developers are moving in.

The Woolwich-Erith riverside project. This is the cover to a 1966 document produced by the Greater London Council outlining plans for a major housing development - in effect a New Town in London’s south eastern suburbs.

Without a name at the time, we now know it as Thamesmead.
