The Queen's House and Royal Naval Hospital , Greenwich, London, viewed from Greenwich Park, London, c1945-c1965. The lawns behind the House have been converted to allotments, with a tricycle and wicker litter bin in the foreground. In the distance on the north bank of the Thames is the Isle of Dogs. This is a heavily industrialised area, as can be seen by the numerous factory chimneys visible on the skyline. Since then much new building has sprung up, including the Docklands development.
