Greenwich & Lewisham Weekender - October 8th 2025 by CommunityMattersMedia

National Hate Crime Awareness Week: focusing on disability

The Royal Borough of Greenwich is raising awareness of disability hate crime during National Hate Crime Awareness Week (11 to 18 October).

Hate crime is when someone is targeted because of who they are or are perceived to be. The law recognises five types: disability, race, religion, sexual orientation, and transgender identity.

You can help us stand up to hate crime by dropping by any of our events:

• Community safety event and workshop, exploring disability hate crime Monday 13 October, 11am to 4pm, Kidbrooke Community Hub (8 Pegler Square, SE3 9GR). This includes three inclusive workshops.

Over £1.7million raised for climate projects in Greenwich

• Join us and Remark for an inclusive lunch to discuss safety, support, and inclusion for the deaf community in Royal Greenwich Monday 20 October, 11am to 2pm, Progress Community Hall (Admiral Seymour Road, Eltham, SE9 1SN)

If you have experienced or witnessed hate crime report it by calling the police on 999 in an emergency or 101 in a nonemergency. For advice and support contact the Stop Hate UK 24-hour hotline on 0800 138 1625.

Royal Greenwich has raised over £1.7million in the second round of Greenwich Green Investment, more than double the £562,000 raised in 2024.

The scheme funds sustainability projects across the borough, including the £4.3million Eltham Centre Air Source Heat Pump project, one of the largest local energy efficiency upgrades locally.

Councillor Anthony Okereke, Leader of the Council, said: “We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who has invested. Every pound raised represents not just financial support, but a shared belief that together we can build a greener, healthier future for our borough.

“It shows how powerful our community is when we come together. With £562,000 already being used to decarbonise the Eltham Centre, this is just the beginning.

We have big plans for this latest raise, finding solutions on how to tackle climate change at a local level.”

Councillor Denise Hyland, Cabinet Member for Finance, Resources and Social Value, added:

“Through both rounds, over £1.8 million has been secured, that’s no small feat. “Your investment is helping us make real progress at the Eltham Centre, which has relied heavily on gas. The new system will cut carbon emissions by 75%, saving 489 tonnes of CO₂ each year, the same as taking more than 100 cars off the road annually.

“Change like this isn’t possible without likeminded individuals doing their part to make a difference.”

Cyclist set up app with updates on foot tunnel

A cyclist, who commutes to work via the Greenwich Foot Tunnel, has set up a live app that allows people to see whether its often faulty lifts are operational, writes Cameron Blackshaw, Local Democracy Reporter

Software engineer Andreas Nikolaou came up with the idea after he saw some tunnel users struggle to climb the stairs on either side of the river when the lifts are out of action.

Andreas hopes that www.greenwichlifts. co.uk will empower people to make the right decision on whether to use the tunnel, as he knows that climbing either the 100 steps on the south side or the 87 steps to the north can be a problem for people with mobility issues.

He said: “I would see older people go down with the elevator then reach the other side and see that the other elevator was not working. It would either take them ages to go up the stairs or they’d decide to go back the way they came from.”

Andreas lives near Canada Water and he uses the Greenwich Foot Tunnel to cycle to and from work in Canary Wharf.

A key reason he started using it is because the tunnel is one of the few free ways to cross the Thames if you live in South East London. He said: “It doesn’t feel as accessible as when you are in Central or West London where there’s a bridge like every kilometre.

“When I started using [the tunnel], I would go to work and the north lift wouldn’t be working in the morning and then on the way back south, that one would not be working. It was very on and off.

“I ride a road bicycle which is fairly lightweight and I’m fairly fit and young. So for me, it was more of an inconvenience rather than a problem. But it’s a significant amount of effort for someone who might not be fit enough to do that.”

He then had the idea to create a simple app that would tell users of the foot

tunnel whether the lifts were working.

Promoting it as a live service, he wants to encourage people who travel through the tunnel to sign up to the app and report on which lifts are working, signposting to others so they know ahead of time. While described as an app it’s essentially a website that you log into with buttons to report the lifts’ operational status.

Andreas said: “It was so simple to have an app that would do it. So I was like, surely that wouldn’t take me more than a couple of days. Obviously, with AI tools you can develop things faster, and I knew of ways that I could host it for free so that it wouldn’t cost me very much.”

The current setup of the website only costs Andreas £8 a year. He added: “I’m not trying to make any money out of it or turn it into something else. It’s just like a communitybased project, doing something simple with the skills I already have to just help someone who might have to redirect their journey in case they know the elevator won’t be working.”

He has shared his project with his colleagues— many of whom also cycle to work and use the tunnel—and they have been encouraging in their responses. However, Andreas did admit many of them would rather ditch the lifts and take the stairs to carry their bikes and get in more of a workout.

He said: “I guess the target demographic is not us but it’s great to know because, for example, for me to go from Tower Bridge to home is like maybe two kilometres more, but some days I just don’t want to get off the bike and have to walk through the tunnel and go up and down the stairs. So at least for me personally, if both elevators are down, I would consider going from Tower Bridge just for the sake of cycling the whole way.”

Victory at Trafalgar

Riverside boozer retains the right for punters to sit outside

The landlord of one of London’s most iconic riverside pubs says there is “no glee” after winning an appeal against the removal of the venue’s outdoor seating because the public inquiry “should have never happened”, writes Cameron Blackshaw, Local Democracy Reporter

Greenwich Council wanted to remove the benches and tables outside The Trafalgar Tavern. The council believed the seating impeded the movement of pedestrians and cyclists walking along the Thames Path as well as harming the heritage assets of the adjacent Old Royal Naval College.

The near 200-year-old pub—known for its naval theming and signal flag bunting—argued there was sufficient room for pedestrians to pass and as the walkway was a footpath, the movement of cyclists should not be considered.

The Trafalgar also believed its seating enhanced the tourist hotspot of the Naval College, offering visitors a place to rest, relax and purchase refreshments.

Greenwich Council issued an enforcement notice in March demanding the pub remove the seating. Landlord Frank Dowling appealed against this notice, with Planning Inspector Lee Douglas siding with the pub and quashing the council’s enforcement notice.

Although he was “thrilled” with the victory, Mr Dowling called his appeal win “bittersweet” while lamenting the amount of public money and his own that was spent as part of the process.

He said: “It shouldn’t have had to be done. Honest and earnest dialogue between parties should have resolved everything. There’s no glee about this because inherently it should have never happened.”

He was happy that the appeal win meant he would not have to lose

any of his employees. He previously feared that if the Trafalgar’s outdoor seating was removed, he would have to lay off 75 members of staff.

Looking forward, Mr Dowling hoped he would be able to “reset the relationship” with Greenwich Council and move on.

He added: “We want to do a lot more here. We have more space we want to bring on and we’re creators of space, we’re creators of interiors and we’re creators of employment.

“Let us do what we do well, and if you’re not happy with something that you think we do badly then let’s talk. We’re going to be here for 20, 30, 40 more years. We have 100 years on our lease and we want to work together. We’re obviously very successful in what we’re doing.”

In his decision, Mr Douglas stated that the Thames Path is 1.6m wide before it joins the Trafalgar’s outdoor seating area, a stretch of the path known as The Knuckle. The Knuckle at its narrowest is 3.1m wide, nearly double the width of the adjacent section of the footpath.

He said: “For this reason, I am satisfied that a clear gap of at least 2.5m in width through The Knuckle would be sufficient to allow the reasonably safe passage of pedestrians and cyclists.”

He also found the presence of signs with Greenwich Council insignia along the path telling cyclists to dismount conflicted with the council’s claims that cyclists have a right to unrestricted access.

Where did Millennium embroidery end up?

I’ve been lent a very beautiful book ‘ Stitches in time‘ about the Millennium Embroideries – I was being urged to write something about the needlework - but then I thought that 2000 is not long enough ago to count as history. I am told that the embroideries had been on public display at the Greenwich Heritage Centre when it was in the building now appropriated by Woolwich Works, but that they had not been seen since the Heritage Centre was suddenly closed in 2018.

The embroideries were done by a group of - very expert – local women, as a record of the history of Greenwich at the Millennium embodied pictorially in stitches. I’m not sure if you can have a document which has no words, just pictures but, thinking about it, I don’t see why not. As this series of articles looks at many historical documents I suppose it’s valid for me to look at the embroideries. Right!

But then I thought –‘the Millennium was 25 years ago’ and since then children have been born who are now parents themselves. However - 2000 - the year of the Dome! There was a lot going on in my life then and I had started Greenwich Industrial History Society in 1998 with the late and very wonderful Jack Vaughan, who wanted the world to know and understand the history of industrial Woolwich. When the news came out about the Dome coming to Greenwich for the Millennium I thought somebody should write a history of the Peninsula. Some very posh ‘professional’ writers were being commissioned to produce books about it. Among them was Adam Nicholson who

wrote ‘Regeneration’ for them - I would like to thank him because he bothered to talk to me and remembered me when I met him later. I did a bit more research and self published my little yellow book ‘Greenwich Marsh’. Along with its recent rewrite ‘’Greenwich Peninsula. Greenwich Marsh” has always been my best seller then and now. With the help of my husband I sold several hundred - all by post. Around this time I got tangled up in the ‘Ghost in the Dome’ and I spent a lot of time being interviewed by those periodicals interested in such things.

So Greenwich Industrial History Society – how does that fit with the embroideries? Well, both are about the history of Greenwich - although we seem to have been running on parallel lines: we knew nothing about them and they knew nothing about us.

The book is riveting about how it was decided to produce the ‘Greenwich Bayeux tapestry’. One of the main people behind it was Beverly Burford, who was Curator of the Museum at Plumstead. I had an awful lot of time for Beverly and was very sad that she never lived to lead the Heritage Centre as

she should have done over the coming years. The book also mentions the late Francis Ward, who was part of Julian’s team at Woodlands Local History Library – and also Chris Foord, who was Beverly’s assistant and who last year came to speak to Greenwich Industrial History Society about his current role in the London Borough of Kingston.

Someone else who played a key role in the embroideries was the late historian, Sally Jenkinson. I never met Sally but I was aware of her reputation and I am very aware of her booklet, among others, on Enderby Wharf – it’s probably the first publication that mentioned Greenwich industry in any detail and the first to tell the amazing story of local work on telecommunications. In retrospect, thank you Sally, very grateful. There is also a chapter in the book from Crooms Hill based historian, Beryl Platts, who I understand worked closely with the embroiderers on Greenwich history and which things should be represented.

I don’t know exactly what has happened to the embroideries now, but there is a campaign going on and a lot of people have been making a big fuss about them. I wondered perhaps, as a historian, if I should look and see how these embroideries interpret Greenwich history. Perhaps I can say something here which will catch somebody’s interest and help the campaign get the embroideries back to where people can see them and appreciate the work that was done and what the embroiderers were trying to say.

I am far from sure if work on embroidery counts as industrial. It has rather been popularly sold as an activity undertaken by posh ladies who didn’t need to have real jobs. I am, however, amazed at the amount of historical information that is around about embroidery. I didn’t know that the National Maritime Museum actually runs classes and gives out information... and I would

also like to thank Beth Robinson, whose work on mid-20th century embroiders included interviews and an awareness of these issues.

Embroidery was a very, very big thing in Tudor England, with intricately embroidered clothes as well as furnishings. There was so much of it that this can’t be the work of otherwise unengaged ladies. It must have been done by professional embroiderers and I would be grateful if anybody has any information about how they were organised. Were they out-workers doing it at home, or was there a studio set up where they worked?

A lot of the work they did was using gold and silver threads. In the late 19th century such thread, made out of precious metals, was done in a factory on the Lewisham borders which is now called the ‘Silk Mill’. There were huge security arrangements there because of the value of the materials and I’m sure that the same value applied in Tudor England. So where did Tudor embroiders do their work?

We start off with the Celts and the Romans - we have a Celtic lady working at a loom and we have some Romans making a Roman Road. Each panel has many such images - I haven’t tried counting but there’s a lot! I suppose my remit is to see how industry is represented in the panels and if it is proportionate with everything else. What I think it represents is not exactly Tourist Greenwich but what we would like visitors to know about and some interesting little details.

The panels on Vikings and the Middle Ages have very little if anything industrial. Every panel has a strip at the top depicting the River with lots of boats. Well - they had to be built somewhere by somebody!

And so on to the Tudors. That does include some mills with a nice little picture of the waterworks with the water mill at Brookmill. Below

that there is actually a picture of a cannon, although nothing about where it might have been made.

The page on the Stuarts includes at the top a lot more shipping and of course Peter Pett with the Sovereign of the Seas. There’s a brief mention of the Mulberry or Charlton House, although I’m not sure that counts. And they do show the Woolwich rope works, which I have never written about - and I ought to.

The Georgian page also has a lot more shipping, but this was a very lively era working towards industrialisation and there really isn’t that much here. There is one little ship which represents the Royal dockyards and there are some of the buildings in the Arsenal. It makes it that the Georgian era finished in 1837 - which is fair enough. But by then there were a number of foundries in the area, as well as chemical works - and an early first attempt at making mechanical road vehicles.

Then inevitably it moves on to what it describes as ‘Victorian’ – and, yes, there’s lots there. The Greenwich railway, various activities at Enderby Wharf which could be of course early days of the cable and telecoms industries - although it doesn’t show that. There’s a picture of a fire engine, although the text gives no reference to Merriweather’s. I am particularly pleased that right at the top of the page is East Greenwich No. 1. Gas holder. A friend took a photograph of it and I put it on the Gas Holder Appreciation Facebook page, where it’s getting lots of likes.

And so to the 20th Century which is all quite good. There’s lots of planes and boats and in fact it’s extremely crowded panel. It also includes in the margins a great deal of electronic apparatus. It’s all very good and I think we should congratulate the stitchers very much on what they produced.

Mary Mills  They are all panels from the Millennium Embroidery and people will be able to come and see it once it’s on display again, hopefully.
