A sprawling area of South London split further by compass directions (for example 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 SE28, with parts in SE2 (Thamesmead South) and DA18 (Thamesmead East).

It borders Plumstead to the west, Erith to the east, Abbey Wood to the south, and Creekmouth to the north across the River Thames. It is proposed to link Thamesmead to Beckton and the north of the river by the Thames Gateway Bridge.
