Owned and operated by the Port of London Authority this lighthouse was at one time in an isolated location at the northern end of Plumstead Marshes. However the residential area of Thamesmead has now been built up to the river bank here, and a housing estate is behind the photographer. On the far side of the river are the tanks and the wind turbine in Dagenham Dock.
