Birchmere Thamesmead, London, South London, SE28 0GE

Thamesmead Waterside Cafe in Thamesmead SE28 serves food for one of South East London's most distinctive communities. Thamesmead was built by the Greater London Council from 1967 as a planned new town on former Woolwich Arsenal marshland, with artificial lakes, elevated walkways and brutalist concrete architecture designed to house 100,000 residents. Stanley Kubrick filmed A Clockwork Orange on the Thamesmead estates in 1971, in scenes that have made the walkways internationally recognisable. The Peabody Trust is now implementing a £9 billion regeneration of the area — the largest urban regeneration project in London — including new schools, retail and food provision along a new riverside boulevard. The Elizabeth line at Abbey Wood, one stop away, has fundamentally improved the area's connectivity to central London. A cafe by the lake serves the community at the centre of this transformation.
