Thamesmead South Estate, Tavy Bridge
A tired block seen across South Mere, the largest of the lakes, Thamesmead's most striking features.
Meanwhile, oblivious to its unpromising and disheveled surroundings, nature was getting on with things - coots and swans had made island nests.

Thamesmead: South Mere
Epic open boat voyages in history, Shackleton, Bligh, etc., reenacted on South Mere in Thamesmead. I jest, sorry. Hartslock Drive flats viewed from Binsey Walk flats looking over South Mere with the local kids trying out their boating skills.

Thamesmead South Estate, Hartslock Drive
Four towers by South Mere, the largest of the lakes, Thamesmead's most striking features. This was the first part of Thamesmead, originally conceived by the Greater London Council as a new town with a population up to 100,000, dating from 1967-72. A mixture of towers with elevated walkways and maisonettes and flats beyond. Even though the population has yet to reach 50,000, today, the unrelenting expanses of tired concrete and brick are hard to take. Lest we judge the original planners too harshly, Pevsner remarks that, "Thamesmead today bears little resemblance to the ideal community visualized by its begetters".

Shops on Binsey Walk
As seen from the car park, beside Yanton Way.
The carpark used to be two storey, but the upper level has been taken way, this may improve the 'quality of life' for the residents. Less 'hidden' mugging spots.
