Because Thamesmead is built on former marshland, drainage dykes are still to be seen throughout the development. Some have been landscaped, others have just been left as can be seen here. This rather overgrown example is viewed from Waldrist Way on the Veridion Park Industrial Estate. Belvedere station is just beyond the gasholders in the distance.
