1. View of Thamesmead new town from near Lesnes Abbey looking across Abbey Road.

This is where old and new meet, the remains of Lesnes Abbey being on one side of Abbey Road and Thamesmead new town on the other.

2. View of Thamesmead Residents' Social Centre.

This centre was known as the Pyramid Club and opened in 1971. It set a precedent as the first licensed Greater London Council community facility, and flourished as a gathering place for local people to meet and share a drink in the absence of any pubs in the immediate locality.
