Looking upstream from a footbridge linking the Wandle Trail to Lydden Road. On the east bank is the former Airfix building (ie the factory where Airfix kits were made, not a model of a building), now the Riverside Business Centre. Apparently the Wandle once flooded the factory, sending numerous kits floating down the river.
