It's Convoys wharf. A 40acre site on the river in Deptford hugely rich in marine history but has been marked for 3000 new homes.
It was first developed in 1513 by Henry VIII to build vessels for the Royal Navy.
The building in the background, the only thing of architectural merit to escape demolition, with the curvy roof is Olympia Warehouse, a unique cast-iron building constructed in the 1840s.
There are plans to build the Restoration warship on the site.

Oh I was talking about the old tag, always keen to know why a carpark was interesting, though maybe the previous tagger will enlighten us.
How far outside the M25? Meant to be good weather tomorrow, if you gave a easy enough clue someone might be up for a ride.
