Ingress Park
Ingress Park is an extensive development of executive homes to the east of Greenhithe. They are built in a semi regency style that Prince Charles would probably approve of. The houses look very nice from the outside but as a visitor I found the estate rather like a maze, it took me some time to escape!

Greenhithe: Ingress Abbey
The building dates from the 1830s when Alderman James Harmer commissioned the architect Charles Moreing to design it. The cost of the house was £120,000 and reclaimed stone from the old London Bridge was used. The building subsequently became the shore base of HMS Worcester, the Thames Nautical Training College, before falling derelict. It was however completely refurbished by the builders Crest Nicholson when they purchased the Ingress Estate in 1991, and now forms the focal point of the Ingress Park residential estate. The building is Grade II listed and is now used as offices.

The Grange, Ingress Abbey
Ingress Abbey took its name from a farm once owned by the nuns of Dartford Priory. In 1748, the house was conveyed to Viscount Duncannon, Earl of Bessborough, who with his architect William Chambers was almost certainly responsible for the landscaping in a former chalk quarry to the south of the house and the construction of some of the follies seen today, such as this one known as The Grange. In 1763 the new owner John Calcraft employed Lancelot "Capability" Brown to landscape the parkland around the house and more follies were built. The surviving Historic Landscape is now followed by a heritage trail. The current Ingress Abbey was constructed in 1833 by James Harmer, an Alderman of the City of London and wealthy lawyer. The house incorporated some remnants of the earlier 17th and 18th century house which was mostly demolished in 1815. It is now the centrepiece of the new riverside development of Ingress Park - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2532502
