Thamesmead's Southmere is now being demolished - a place where Kubrick's 'Clockwork Orange', 'Misfits' from Channel 4 and some of Aphex Twin's music videos were filmed, and a nice place to be at! We visited it not so long ago to discover its community spirit, - while there, we have actually felt ourselves in a very unusual London. That's a sketch from the cafe in the middle of it, near the lake.
I used to live on the 11th floor of the block on the far right. Had lots of good times there and dated my husband while living there. Its not the blocks that are being demolish, is it? Also the place where the Kids show Misfits was filmed. Part of the reason I watched the show, just to jog the memory cells.
