Proposed Charlton datacentre (near railway station and on land designated for housing in area masterplan) also ensures new public transport route serving 8k homes is harder to build - if not block it completely. Big impact on new housing. www.fromthemurkydepths.co.uk/2026/08/18/c...
Found this plan for Charlton data centre proposal. They're not going to try and squeeze the proposed main public transport route across this 8,000-home master planned site to the north of the data centre? If there's even now a route planned at all. That would be, sub-optimal, shall we say.
Could be trackside materials including these sleepers that are on fire as well now in Bermondsey. This was taken after June fire
I've just seen two videos of the fire. One with a fire close to tracks in Bermondsey and another taken later seemingly on the tracks. Earlier videos didn't show that so could be arches beneath have gone up or debris landed on track.

Another large fire at Bermondsey recycling site which saw similar back in June. Rail disruption as a result. 100 firefighters on scene www.fromthemurkydepths.co.uk/2026/08/18/m...

Details of 100,000 square metre data centre in Charlton emerge. If goes against the Charlton Riverside area masterplan and if built could prevent many new homes as well as hinder transport links serving the wider masterplan area for 8k dwellings. www.fromthemurkydepths.co.uk/2026/08/18/c...

Good to see some appealing events at Woolwich Works. Beer festival next month! www.fromthemurkydepths.co.uk/2026/08/15/b...
New block opposite Kings Cross station which doesn't seem too popular. Very 1970s in design with those dominant vertical lines. I always associate this era and design style with car centric design. Choosing that opposite a major station is interesting.

Greenwich have made another howler in confusing Abbey Wood and Thamesmead. Two very different towns. They have shown many, many times how ignorant they are of the area. Helps explain flawed strategy documents and bizarre transport measures See DLR plan and recently supporting bus cuts in the area
Your reminder that these two newspapers are owned by the same company. Reach plc isn't a serious news outlet. It is a ragebait farm to sell advertising and is a perfect demonstration of why the dead tree press is one of the biggest problems with British society today.
Not sure places like Abbey Wood estate have ever looked so bad as now. Little more than a forgotten dump. Ignored for decades under Tories, then New Labour, then Tories (and a dash of Lib Dems) and now Labour again. Detached middle class people should pay a visit. Would open some eyes.
Shite ground floor treatment at these new homes in Thamesmead. Top work from Berkeley and Peabody.
He’s been prime minister for five minutes and he’s already playing with the emergency alert.
Some decent public realm in Bromley. Pavement in a darker tone so weathers the years better. Tree. Nice bench. Outside seating. Not rocket science but makes a successful town centre.
Lots of excuses from the Mayor of London today on more abysmal housing start figures. Just 1,070 affordable starts over three months for a city of nine million, with 183,000 people in temporary accommodation. He's trying to big it up, as last year had an even more lamentable 374 starts.
Two bits of housing news out today: Public housebuilding is more than 20 per cent lower than last year. Households in temporary accommodation have hit a new record high. The effect of Labour having few plans nor increasing funding for building new homes when taking power.

Public house building activity in June 2026 was 11.0% lower than in May & 20.6% lower than a year ago & it has been decline for more than 2 years & it continues on a downward path as activity on the old Affordable Homes Programme winds down & whilst... (11/n) #ukhousing #ukconstruction

Good design (from this angle) but deeply flawed as a vehicle. And soon to be gone from the SL11. As ever, it's almost fully empty. TfL *really* screwed up with this route - and cutting routes that serve 1000s of new homes which the SL11 does not.
Newly constructed cycle lane in Charlton. A massive omission not to link to thousands of new homes in north Greenwich via the routes people will actually take i.e. the quickest ways
How did the Elephant &Castle redevelopment end up like this?
Have I missed the eclipse? The 1999 one was shite in SE London. Was doing work experience for Greenwich Council at the time, in advance of the Millennium Dome opening later that year. Staff were all great. The eclipse was crap. Barely dark.
Late Sunday and waiting for the Sainsbury's online food order. This is what happens when only paying £1 for delivery saver slot as skint
