Thamesmead is a "new town", more realistically a new suburb, in London built on the southern bank of the River Thames, 9.4 miles (15.1 km) east of Charing Cross. It is partly in the London Borough of Greenwich and partly in the neighbouring London Borough of Bexley. The parliamentary constituency of Erith and Thamesmead crosses the borough boundary. Much of the housing was initially built for rent to families moving from Central London areas where slum clearance was intended.

Most of the land it was built on previously formed part of the old Royal Arsenal that extended over 'Plumstead Marshes' and 'Erith Marshes'. The area had been inundated in the North Sea Flood of 1953, so the original design placed living accommodation at first floor level or above, used overhead walkways and left the ground level of buildings as garage space. The older parts of Thamesmead are a mix of medium-rise and 12-storey blocks system-built in concrete, the newer more traditional and in brick.

Housing is still under construction here and water remains an important feature of the parks and linear spaces. Homes there are relatively affordable by London standards, partly reflecting continuing travel difficulties and partly the stigma arising from its origins as a state-inspired overspill area. It is under the flight path of airliners approaching London City Airport which detracts a little from the tranquil parkland character envisioned by its architects and planners.

District heating and cable radio broadcasting were pioneered there. The Tavy Bridge area, now due for redevelopment by Wates Construction, was used as a setting for parts of the Stanley Kubrick film A Clockwork Orange (see http://nhindymedia.org/usermedia/image/3/clockwork-orange-5.jpg), and also the Channel 4 film Beautiful Thing. Thamesmead shopping centre is rather twee and contrived: finished in brick, its design marked the end of an era (1952-1972 ?) when architects toyed with the notion that English people could be persuaded to enjoy living in overtly concrete, system-built structures. Some overhead pedestrian walkways have been demolished for reasons of public safety and some ground floor garages have been infilled, as incidents of crime deterred their use as parking space.

The new prison of Belmarsh and the audacious, decorative and inventive sewage processing works at Crossness are on the western and eastern edges of Thamesmead respectively. The southern boundary is the covered South London Outfall Sewer, which has been landscaped as an elevated footpath called the Ridgeway.

There is a wide variety of active community groups and a short-range commercial radio station - 106.8 Time FM - that grew from the original cable (subsequently FM) service "Radio Thamesmead".
