Plumstead: Riverdale Road, SE18
This is Riverdale Road viewed looking down towards the High Street. The pale blue column is a sewer vent pipe, the top of which must be higher than the ridges of the house roofs.

Lakedale Road, Plumstead
The roads leading down from Plumstead Common towards the Thames are very steep which makes many of the houses well above street level. This must make it very difficult to move furniture in and out. This is at the junction with Tewson Road which is on the right.

Acid grassland on Winns Common
The underlying soils on Winns Common are poor and gravelly and so the grasses tend to stay short. Gorse is also typical of these soils. The extensive views northwards extend well beyond the Thames to the Essex hills - places such as Havering-atte-Bower.

A stormy sky seen from Plumstead Common
This was a day of heavy showers and some bright sunshine. Despite appearances, there was no rain locally for much of the rest of the day although I would imagine it was fairly wet over north-east London and Canary Wharf which can be seen in the direction this photograph was taken. This view looks across Lakedale Road.

Viewland Road, Plumstead Common
Plumstead Common is as near as the North of England you can get in London. It has ravines, steep steps and houses built up hillsides. It also has excellent views across to the River Thames and to north-east London.
This view looks down Viewland Road. The Barking Creek Barrier is clearly visible right of centre, and Belmarsh Prison is in front of it.
