Green London: Plumstead Common & its History
Plumstead Common, in South-East London, exists today because of historic protests. Back in the 19th century common land was sold off for development, preventing local residents from grazing their cattle or using the space for leisure. A massive protest – and riots – eventually saved the land for the people. The Plumstead Common Act 1878 ensured 100 acres of land remained public green space.
The photos show a small part of the common near the bus stop, taken as the sun broke through clouds. I was on my way to visit a friend, so didn’t have time to explore further. However, other parts of the common are wilder, more wooded, and recognised as a conservation area.
This is my second post about Green London this week – the spring weather has encouraged me to continue my regular blogs about London’s green spaces. My posts on the topic are in an effort to dispel a prevalent myth that the city is all just concrete. My posts cover everything from beautiful trees in the Square Mile itself, to parks and gardens, and large areas in the oustkirts of the city where nature thrives.
