Green Chain Walk on Thamesmead
The Green Chain Walk though Thamesmead is here seen as it approaches the lake at Southmere. One of the ubiquitous Thamesmead tower blocks can be seen on the left. Because of fears over flooding from the Thames as much of this area is below high tide level, the first parts of Thamesmead as here were built with all living accommodation at first floor level or above.

Wild flowers on Thamesmead
This superb show of wild flowers are mostly those which would formerly be found in corn fields. They were seen in the first half of June alongside the Green Chain Walk on Thamesmead between Abbey Road and Southmere. This is just as Southmere is approached. Apart from poppies, cornflowers, corncockles, corn marigolds and ox-eye daisies were prominent.

Southmere Lake, Thamesmead
Southmere was the first artificial lake to be created in Thamesmead. This is the view from the Green Chain Walk looking across the lake on a wintry sunset. The tower blocks are part of the original 1970s Thamesmead and are in Hartslock Drive.

Poppies at South Mere
South Mere was the first artificial lake to be created in Thamesmead. Recently a very impressive wildflower area has been created on the east side of South Mere which extends for some hundred yards alongside the Green Chain Walk. There must be well over one thousand poppies, as well as other wild flowers.
In this photograph some of the Thamesmead tower blocks can be seen beyond the lake.
