A sprawling area of South London split further by compass directions (for example [[Locale Thamesmead West|Thamesmead West]]). It is made up of housing estates and a smattering of industry, built since the 1960s on what was once marshland alongside the River Thames. It lies largely within [[Locale SE28|SE28]], with parts in [[Locale SE2|SE2]] (Thamesmead South, pictured) and [[Locale DA18|DA18]] (Thamesmead East). The area is criss-crossed by canals (required to help with drainage of the marshy land), as well as a number of lakes and green spaces. There was a proposal to link Thamesmead to [[Locale Beckton|Beckton]] and the north of the river by the Thames Gateway Bridge, but this was [http://www.bbc.co.uk/london/content/articles/2008/11/08/bexley_thames_gateway_boris_feature.shtml cancelled in November 2008] (though it [http://www.boriswatch.co.uk/2009/10/23/thames-gateway-the-bridge-that-wouldnt-die/ may not be entirely dead]).
