  • 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.

  • The guy in the cycle store in Greenwich had no clue. Then I was going to ask in the lovely The Dog & Bell. But did not dare to take my bike inside. And then it was across the road.

    Or asked about it in a bike shop then stumbled across it?! (I presumed googling Lenox wouldn't provide the answer but actually it did a few links down). You should link to the Strava of that tag by the way, I don't know what the furthest anyone has ridden is to get a tag but that must be up there.

    Thanks for the info @7VEN - I'd never heard of it. I'd like to think it'll be a sympathetic development which preserves the history of the site, but unfortunately those opposing it are probably right to do so.

    So which is the current tag, the lane, the traffic lights or either? It's not entirely clear...
