Dated 1903, this marked the outer limit of the Metropolitan Borough of Woolwich, and so the boundary between the counties of London and Kent. With the creation of Greater London, this became the boundary between the London Boroughs of Greenwich and Bexley, Woolwich being absorbed into Greenwich. At this point the A210 changes name - Bexley Road in Greenwich, Blackfen Road in Bexley. South of the A210 here is a road named Parish Gate Drive, with the boundary initially running down its western side.
