Blackheath, Royal Standard

For many years the name of the Royal Standard pub has been used to describe the locality. It's located about half a mile from the start of the London Marathon

Blackheath, Royal Standard

Unfortunately, this interesting sign that explains the Royal Standard's history was removed during a recent renovation and wasn't replaced

Dover Patrol SE3

The 'Dover Patrol' was a pub on the busy A2, with a pub sign showing a boat in the choppy waters of the English Channel. However, the opening of the new A102M motorway from the Blackwall Tunnel out towards Kent cut it off from its passing trade. In the 1980s it closed and in the 1990s it was demolished and replaced with a small housing development.

Thomas Tallis Secondary School, Kidbrooke Park Road

Built in the 1970s the fabric of the school is falling apart and will be replaced with a new building within the next decade. Very much a multi-ethnic inner London school, it is also extremely popular with parents over quite a radius and achieves excellent academic results

Westcombe Park station, Greenwich

A Class 465 unit heads an up train to London Cannon Street from this quiet suburban station in Greenwich. A great deal of this grid square is occupied by industrial premises, with a small area of housing around the station at the southern fringe.

Rush hour on the A102

The tail end of the morning rush hour (9.10am) and traffic is still queueing over 2km from the Blackwall Tunnel northbound entrance. The tunnel entrance itself is close to the O2 Dome (background, left)

Not actually a college at all, but a charity providing residential care, this link tells a little more Link

Island near Royal Standard

This island is near the Royal Standard pub. There is a green space, phone boxes and a public toilet -- the presence of a drinking fountain (to left) suggests this has long been an amenity area.

Lyveden Road, Blackheath

A quiet street as it is a dead-end at both ends, connected to the main road only by other residential streets. Housing late 19th century terraces.

Sun in the Sands inn

The inn stands right by the junction where the A2 coming out of London meets the A102 coming out of the Blackwall Tunnel and from this point the modern dual carriageway adopts the A2 identity. But the Sun in the Sands, which gave its name to the junction, has a history going back centuries as a coaching inn on the Dover Road.
