Brockley Central (Free subscription) | 03/07/2008
Yesterday, forced to look further afield for swimming options, Brockley Central visited the Eltham Centre, Greenwich's latest community pool. The Eltham Centre replaces Eltham's old, urine-coloured baths that have now closed down.

A visit to Plumstead and Abbey wood, to see Lesnes Abbey (now how is that pronounced'). I've never been to Lesnes Abbey before, although I've been to the old suburb Abbey Wood which is named after it.

The boo is for whatever body is responsible for staffing the lifts on the Greenwich and Woolwich foot tunnels, which it was my misfortune to use today (the latter because the Wollwich ferry wasn't running). It was Boxing Day, so particularly the former was thronging with people - of course nice stroll by the river [...]
