War graves in East Greenwich Pleasaunce
East Greenwich Pleasaunce is one of the more unusual parks in south east London. It opened as a park in 1857 but in 1875 the remains of some 3,000 sailors and officers were removed from their previous burial ground at the Royal Hospital for Seamen at Greenwich, due to the construction of a railway tunnel. The west plot has seamen and the east plot has officers according to naval etiquette. In 1926 the Admiralty sold the Pleasaunce to the Metropolitan Borough of Greenwich, keeping the right for further burials. Railings were removed and the Pleasaunce was landscaped as a park. Today it is the unusual combination of a graveyard and a park. As can be seen here, the typical war graves can also be seen amongst the more traditional tombstones.

Humber Road allotments - looking north
The foreground is all green, and could be almost anywhere, but the skyline gives a fix, with the towers of Docklands and the O2 Dome. The allotments are owned by Greenwich Council. The waiting list is said to be around 15 years.
