Cross Ness, the point on the right where the edge of the road meets the river, is the furthest north point south of the river to the east of London. There is only a small strip of land here which is actually north of the Embankment at Charing Cross. It used to be marshes until the new area of Thamesmead was begun in the 70s, creating a brand new postcode of SE28, dividing SE2 in two.
