The landscaped canals were former drainage ditches on Plumstead and Erith Marshes. This drainage ditch, which hasn't been landscaped, is just south of the Town Centre and Central Way and is hidden largely by trees and reeds, 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
