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. In this view, Warwick Terrace is behind the tree.

Plumstead Common was purchased for the people in 1877. Before that, the parish council had grazing rights and free access, even though the land was owned by Queens College, Oxford. From 1871 the college had allowed the Army access and it was largely turned into a military training ground. This led to a storm of protest and a procession to the Common took place. Their leader was temporarily imprisoned and further protest took place until an Act of Parliament authorised purchase of the Common by the Metropolitan Board of Works. This autumnal view looks across the Common from Warwick Terrace, with Plumstead Common Road on the left.

This view looks along Warwick Terrace. This used to be a bus terminus when Routemasters operated Route 53 and I have a photograph from 1987 of five Routemasters lined up along here. In those days the route ran as far as Parliament Hill Fields but now only one school bus route actually starts from here.

This is the view alongside Old Mill Road towards Warwick Terrace where the bus in the distance is standing. The houses on the right are on the far side of the busy Plumstead Common Road.
