The landscaped canals were former drainage ditches on Plumstead and Erith Marshes. This is just south of the Town Centre where they are a little more natural and hidden largely by trees, even in winter. Just to the north though the canal is more formal when it reaches the Town Centre - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4292286
