Thamesmead Waterside Cafe

● Closed International

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.

Available for dine-in in Thamesmead SE28.

About London

Thamesmead is a district of South London,, located in the Boroughs of Greenwich and Bexley. Thamesmead is the name given to a group of disparate mainly social housing developments built from the late 1960s onwards mostly on former marshland on the southern banks of the River Thames between the more established towns of Woolwich and Belvedere. Originally planned to have 60,000-100,000 residents, it is now estimated to be on target for a final population of around 50,000 people. It has five distinct areas: Thamesmead South is in Bexley and is the location of the original development built in the late 1960s to early 1970s. The buildings are almost entirely of concrete, in a Cubist/Brutalist/Mordernist style, and include a number of high-rise blocks. It is east of Harrow Mannor Way (A2041) and south of the A2016. Thamesmead Central is in Greenwich and was first developed in the early 1980s in the ring between the A206 and A2041. It originally consisted of large, sprawling, concrete and red brick, eight- and nine-storey estates overlooking the A2041, and three-storey red-brick town houses. It has spread west of the A2041 and now also includes a number of red and yellow brick homes built from the 1990s onwards. Thamesmead North is split between Bexley & Greenwich and is north of the A2016 and east of the A2041. Built from the 1970s onwards, it was initially made up of town houses in grey brick; more recent builds are in red & yellow brick.
