Borough of Woolwich boundary marker
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.

Looking across the pond in Parish Wood Park
Parish Wood Park is called after Parish Wood which forms the north-eastern part of it. Parish Wood was just over the old London County boundary into Kent. It is now just over the boundary into the London Borough of Bexley from the Royal Borough of Greenwich. The flats in the distance are in Restons Crescent which is in Greenwich.
The pond has only recently been created but is already settling in as a feature of the park. It is seen here from the Shuttle Riverway. See http://walkaroundlondon.com/the-sunny-shuttle-riverway-and-a-bit-more/ for an account of a walk along the Shuttle Riverway.
