Thamesmead canal
The landscaped canals were former drainage ditches on Plumstead and Erith Marshes. This is just south of the Town Centre where they are a little more natural and hidden largely by trees, even in winter. Just to the north though the canal is more formal when it reaches the Town Centre - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4292286

Drainage ditch at Thamesmead
The former drainage ditches on Plumstead and Erith Marshes have been landscaped into the development as seen at https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6449924 which is a few yards north of here. This view from Central way shows a more natural form.

Path alongside drainage ditch, Thamesmead
The landscaped canals were former drainage ditches on Plumstead and Erith Marshes. This drainage ditch, which hasn't been landscaped, is just south of the Town Centre and Central Way and is hidden largely by trees and reeds, even in winter. Just to the north, though, the canal is more formal when it reaches the Town Centre - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4292286

Thamesmead Town Centre Clock
The Thamesmead Town Centre Clock is here seen across one of the landscaped canals which were former drainage ditches on Plumstead and Erith Marshes.
The 18th century clock faces and cupola were donated to the Greater London Council who built Thamesmead. They came from the former Great Storehouse of the Deptford Royal Dockyard, which was demolished in 1981. The GLC paid for them to be restored and later funded the construction of a supporting 100 feet high clock tower in the classical style, which was completed in 1987.

On a wall of the clock tower in the centre of Thamesmead is a small photo panel with a short history of the area's military past.
