Scaffolding on Bridge House
This was for remedial work. According to the builders: "The scaffolding at Bridge House was erected following an issue relating to the penthouse properties, which required intrusive investigations". The scaffolding was up for so long the other tenants got rather fed up with it.

It appears that this site would have formed the approach to a planned Thames Gateway Bridge, a project which was abandoned in 2008. It's not clear what is now being done at this site.

View from Gallions Hill
Gallions Hill is a sixty feet high landmark created from "recycled excavated material". A spiral path leads to the summit which provides widespread views up and down the Thames. To the south the views are only as far as the ridge between Shooters Hill, Plumstead Common, Bostall Heath and Lesnes Abbey Woods. This view looks over a newly-created park with the River Thames just beyond and the Barking Creek Barrier far right on the horizon.
