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.

Storm clouds over Plumstead
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 which was the direction this photograph was taken. This was from the top of Viewland Road on Plumstead Common. The Barking Creek Barrier is on the far left of the picture.

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.

View from Winn's Common
Winn's Common is the eastern part of Plumstead Common. Although this was once heathland there is now no heather to be found although plants such as gorse are still to be seen. However, names such as Heath Villas and Heathfield Terrace are reminders of what was once here. There are also tremendous views across the Thames basin as seen here from a spur between Riverdale Road and Purrett Road. Belmarsh Prison is just right of centre.

Viewland Road, Plumstead Common
The ridge on which Plumstead Common lies provides fine views northwards across the Thames. This part of Plumstead Common is actually known as Winns Common and all the roads leading down from here to lower Plumstead are very steep. The road ahead is appropriately called Viewland Road and to the right is Heath Villas, giving another clue about the history of the Common.
