Ridgeway (London)

The Ridgeway runs ENE/WSW:[14] the western two thirds between Plumstead railway station and The Link Thamesmead, home of the London College of Performing Arts,[15][16][17] is in the Royal Borough of Greenwich.

[27][28][29] In 2018, the Plumstead entrance to the Ridgeway was refurbished, with public art work installed by local artist Sam Skinner and Ninth Seal.

The event organised as part of the London International Festival of Theatre (LIFT) 2018 was called 'Fly By Night' and featured 1,500 LED-lit, trained pigeons flying above the River Thames.

[44] The funding aimed to create a 'Thamesmead Pollinator Corridor' and was led by the North West Kent Countryside Partnership in collaboration with the BumbleBee Conservation Trust, Bow Arts, University of East London and the Ridgeway Users community group.

[45][46][47][48] Subsequently, the rare brown banded carder bee has been recorded on sites that had been planted as part of the pollinator corridor project.

[74][75] As part of the planning process for this development, extensive archaeological excavations were carried out along Pettman Cresent adjacent to the Plumstead end of the Ridgeway.

[77][78][79][80] Proposals have been put forward by the Pharaoh Project to create a 'biodome' within the underpass at Pettman Crescent adjacent to the Plumstead entrance of the Ridgeway.

[84] [85]Devon and Cornwall Railways Limited have submitted plans to reinstate the Plumstead Goods Yard next to the Ridgeway as a fully active freight site to receive aggregate and other rail imported material to serve London.

[93] The YouTube channel called 'Cripple Cruise' has featured the Ridgeway in several of their POV style videos taken from the perspective of a mobility scooter user.
