Site: Dr Salter Children's Playground - Coxson Place (1 memorial)

SE1, Coxson Place

In 2010 London SE1 reported that Thames Water had plans to take over this playground as a work site for the construction of the new 'super sewer' under the River Thames.  There was opposition to these plans.  Now, 2023, we know this huge project is currently underway, due for completion in 2025, but we don't know whether the playground was ever used.
