On the Ridgeway, Plumstead
The Ridgeway is a raised footpath from Plumstead station to Crossness which follows the embankment containing the Southern Outfall Sewer on its way to Crossness Sewage Treatment Works. It is seen here adjacent to Nathan Way.
Five years later the surface of the path had been substantially improved - http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4820773

No way to calm traffic!
A lesson to any traffic engineers on here: whoever designed this particular bit of "traffic calming" didn't have his thinking cap on!
The theory is to use a road-narrowing island to force traffic through a single-lane width gap with signs giving priority to one direction. But this is on a blind bend, so the traffic that should give way cannot see whether there is anything coming from round the bend that has priority. As I discovered one very wet day when a car appeared round the bend just as I went through the gap, and went into an aquaplaning skid - a nasty accident was only just avoided.
Update: by 2015 the priority markings had been removed, perhaps for the reasons given above.

As can be seen in the photograph at http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2302099 taken five years earlier, the surface has been substantially improved.

The Ridgeway at Plumstead, looking north-east
Despite the rural sounding name, this "ridgeway" is no more than a footpath along the top of the embankment of London's southern outfall sewer. This view is along the embankment towards Crossness.

Radiance Signs, Nathan Way

There is also a banner on the building announcing that the Redeemed Christian Church of God meets there on Sundays - one of many African independent churches meeting in assorted hired premises in this part of London.
This bus is on route 472 (North Greenwich to Thamesmead).
