Stepping out of the shadows
I’ve stepped back from blogging over the past year or so, partially because my working life has been so busy, but also in part due to the glacial slowness of the progression around regenerating Thamesmead. Whilst I truly believe that … Continue reading
Peabody speak at the Thamesmead Community Voice meeting
I went along to the Thamesmead Community Voice meeting last Wednesday, and was surprised to find that it was entirely presented by Peabody. I took notes, which I’ll try to make some sense of below (it was the end of … Continue reading

Architect’s Journal does a write up on Thamesmead
I found an article online today. It seems largely accurate with comments such as Southmere Lake is where ‘regeneration’ started a few years ago, and the results were sad. Owners Gallions Housing Association demolished all the parts of the lakeside area … Continue reading

Vote now! (As they used to say on Banzaii)
One of the areas of Thamesmead that was listed by many as a bad spot when I went to the first regeneration group, was the area known as the A Bridge. This is a footbridge that crosses the Eastern Way … Continue reading
