LANDMARK WHICH WAS ONCE A SWIMMING BATHS REMAINS VACANT ELEVEN YEARS ON
Plans approved nearly 3 years ago to turn it into a cinema have been dropped, writes Ruby Gregory
Lewisham Council has reversed previous planning approval to transform abandoned swimming baths into a cinema and new homes after the developer failed to deliver, saying they can’t afford it.
Ladywell Playtower has been vacant since 2004 when it stopped being used as a community centre.

In Autumn 2022, Lewisham Council approved plans to turn the Grade-II listed Victorian baths into a fourscreen cinema and 33 homes. However the plans stalled the following year after Guildmore, the private developer behind the renovation, told the council it could not begin work on the project until it found extra cash.
The council said Guildmore has not been able to overcome financial viability issues and has not made “any meaningful progress” to complete a s106 agreement, which is a legal agreement between local authorities and developers and helps to secure the required planning benefits of a scheme.
A spokesperson for Guildmore said they had entered into the project with “a strong commitment” to bring the building back into community
use, however due to unprecedented external factors, they have been unable to proceed with the development.
During a meeting with Lewisham Council’s Strategic Development Committee on Tuesday, September 9, councillors voted to rescind the planning application, which will allow it to start the termination of its development agreement with Guildmore. James-J Walsh, Cabinet Member for Inclusive Regeneration and Planning, said the council will progress with a developer “who prioritises delivery without further delay”.
The council said it was concerned that the building is still in a very poor state of repair due to a lack of progress, and that ending the existing agreement with Guildmore will allow it to find a new developer to restore the historic landmark.
A recent Freedom of Information (FOI) request found the council has spent around £101,000 since April 2021 to improve the security of the building,
which includes installing and updating fencing, routine site clearance, placing concrete barriers and a regular twice-a-week patrol of the site.
The uncertainty surrounding the future of the site has left many local people frustrated, and a petition calling on the council to consult with residents “urgently and transparently” has now attracted more than 3,400 signatures. A public meeting is to be held on Thursday, September 25 to discuss residents’ concerns regarding the future of the site.
Cllr Walsh said: “The council will not allow this local landmark to remain in limbo. We share residents’ frustrations and are acting decisively to break the deadlock. We are committed to working with the local community to identify new opportunities to restore the building.
“Lewisham Council is playing our part in delivering on the national growth mission. As a council, we have streamlined services, adopted a new comprehensive Local Plan,
and unlocked planning gain to make restoration projects like Ladywell Playtower possible.”
The council is preparing to bring forward a new expression of interest process later this autumn, and said it aims to place the community’s and wider stakeholders’ ideas and suggestions for future uses of the Playtower site “at the heart of our decision-making”.
A spokesperson for Guildmore said: “The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic caused significant delays and disruption, with construction costs rising sharply. In addition, the cinema operator we had partnered with was no longer in a position to move forward, and the wider housing market remained flat, making the scheme financially unviable.
“This was not a decision we took lightly. We recognise how important Ladywell Playtower is to Lewisham and remain supportive of the building being restored for the benefit of the community.”

London’s largest theatre could be opening in Greenwich next year - just for a decade
London’s largest theatre could be opening in Greenwich next year – then be demolished 10 years later, writes Cameron Blackshaw, Local Democracy Reporter
Troubadour Theatres has announced plans for a new 3,000-seat theatre on the Greenwich Peninsula which it hopes will open in 2026.
The theatre production company wants to build the large entertainment venue—which will contain two 1,500 seater auditoriums—on a patch of land on the east side of the peninsula, adjacent to the cable car station.
If the project is approved it will become the city’s largest theatre, besting the 2,359-seat London Coliseum in the West End which currently holds that title.
A Troubadour spokesperson said: “At Troubadour, we believe in creating spaces that inspire both artists and audiences. These two new 1,500-seat auditoriums will provide
unmatched flexibility for producers and directors, enabling ever more ambitious shows to take the stage.
“For audiences, it means a front-row seat to world-class productions in a venue designed with their comfort and experience at its core.”
Troubadour has yet to submit a planning application to Greenwich Council, but it has launched a public consultation to get feedback from Londoners on the project.
Within the consultation, Troubadour has said it hopes to submit an application in the autumn with the hopes that it will be approved earlier next year. Construction on the theatre would begin in February and it would open to the public in October 2026.
Troubadour currently operates two theatres in London, one in Wembley Park and the other in Canary Wharf. The Canary Wharf venue is set to open next month with the premiere of the first-ever theatrical adaptation of the book and film series The Hunger Games, while Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Starlight Express is currently playing in Wembley.
Troubadour is only seeking to operate the theatre for a period of 10 years, as the intended site will eventually be redeveloped into homes, commercial or business space as part of the Greenwich Peninsula masterplan.

Greenwich is now a rival to Trafalgar Square when it comes to Diwali
It is time to earmark your diaries for Diwali – the Festival of Light this October, writes Kevin Quinn…
For London’s Hindu and Sikh populations, our night sky comes alive with lights and installations way before Christmas, with this year’s Diwali taking place between Saturday October 18 and Wednesday October 22.
Diwali, which symbolises the spiritual victory of light over darkness, is a major celebration each October in London. There are events of every flavour to enjoy, with opportunities to dance, feast, and get together with family and friends.
Festivities will be happening in the weeks before the 18th and 22nd, including London’s biggest Diwali event at Trafalgar Square on Sunday October 12, but Greenwich is now becoming a rival location for those wanting to celebrate.
On Saturday October 18th between 2pm and 7pm Diwali festivities will be returning to Greenwich Peninsula with high-energy group dancing, a programme of creative workshops and delicious south Asian cuisine.
The event is free with the whole peninsula, famously home to the O2
arena, filled with the rhythm and colour of this most magical celebration.
Peninsula Square, the Design District and Barton Yard will play host to dropin workshops to decorate your own Dandiya sticks, join dance rehearsals for Dandiya Raas and Garba, and create Diwali lanterns to light up the evening.
As night falls, a vibrant procession led by an illuminated rickshaw, four Dhol drummers and ten Garba dancers in traditional costume will wind through the Design District, drawing everyone into Barton Yard for a joyful group dance under a canopy of lights – the heart of the celebration.
The community celebration draws inspiration from Gujarati folk traditions, with Dandiya and Garba symbolising joy, unity and the triumph of good over evil. The programme is open to all, welcoming participants of every age and background to step into the spirit of celebration and come in their festive best.
A curated street food market will
showcase authentic South Asian cuisine, with independent vendors serving regional dishes, sweets and drinks.
Canteen Food Hall & Bar will stay open into the evening, with DJs playing Bollywood beats and South Asian sounds to keep the energy high.
Laura Flanagan, Director at Greenwich Peninsula, says: “Diwali is a celebration of light, joy and togetherness – and this year’s programme brings that spirit to life in a new format.
“We’ve worked closely with independent traders, artists and performers to create a day that honours South Asian heritage and showcases the richness of its traditions.
“This vibrant celebration reflects our diverse community, and we welcome people from all over London to join in and spend the afternoon eating, dancing, and creating.”

And there’s more!
The following Saturday head to Greenwich Town
Head to the historic heart of Greenwich to take part in family-friendly events to mark the Hindu festival of lights at the National Maritime Museum, again all for free.
The museum will host allfemale Bhangra performances by dance team Eternal Taal, a Bharatanatyam performance by Hashna Siva, and workshops so you can have a go.
There will be dressing up and storytelling for kids.
You can also go to a Rangoli workshop where you can try your hand at this colourful art form, plus a chance to make a Diwali lantern to carry in a lantern parade at the end of the day, to the beat of Dhol drummers.
Saturday, 25 October from 10am at the National Maritime Museum
The racing barges and sailing to Harwich on the Xylonite
the Xylonite
One reason why I have been doing so many articles about Greenwich shipbuilding is that I hope soon to produce a booklet about it and so it’s all in my head at the moment. I always hope that these articles get read by people who will get back to me if they think I’ve got it wrong.
There is one subject I’ve always been very nervous writing about - because I know there are lots of enthusiasts out there – and that is the red sailed sailing barges which were all over the River when I was a girl.
I first started writing about Greenwich industry in the 1990s and often sent articles off to Bygone Kent for publication. Bygone Kent was then edited by the late Pat O’Driscoll. Pat had worked on a sailing barge as a young woman and had then been a journalist specialising in articles about the River and had edited various publications on barges. When I sent in my articles about Greenwich industry and Greenwich history generally she usually agreed them and they went straight off to the printer. However, if they were about sailing barges she didn’t trust a word I wrote and off my article would go to one of the experts down in Kent somewhere and she would get them to rewrite it. Things are different now but I still feel that writing an article on sailing barges is a bit risky.
Clearly there have been barges of
of the estuary to the south and east coasts. They were flat bottomed, to allow them to use the small creeks around the estuary in order to serve the many mills and other industrial sites on them. They needed to be easily manoeuvrable and to be able to function with a minimal staff.
one sort or another on the River since considerably before the Stone Age, but we can only experience for ourselves barges which date from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. There was a time, which I can remember as a child in the 1940s, when you could see sailing barges stacked in the river at Gravesend, all of them still at work. In the late 1960s in Greenwich I met men who were still working barges on the River. So these sailing vessels survived at work over hundred years after powered vessels had become normal on the River.
These barges were immensely practical and dealt with most of the heavy haulage of London river and beyond – carrying the bricks, the corn, the rubbish and everything else, and doing it cheaply and reliably. This was a large industry of haulage operators, many of whom were very wealthy.
Most of the barges could go into coastal waters - in fact I have seen websites complaining that since they are describing river boats they can’t include Thames sailing barges, because they were designed to go out
Being powered by the wind made them even cheaper to run - but I will leave the technicalities of the sails to the many websites which describe them. However, the sails and masts had to be able to come down quickly if the barge was expected to go up river – perhaps to industrial areas like Brentford and beyond - and they had to be able to get under many bridges to get there. I remember meeting a chap who as a boy had done that trip regularly - but, he said, ‘all we had to eat was Campbell’s Soup’.
Greenwich was a centre for building these barges. Many of the articles I’ve written in the past mention some of these sites. One major boat building site was Pipers, which was on what is now Riverside Gardens and Piper specialised in very high quality racing barges. Near them were several other barge builders - Hughes on Providence Wharf and also Badcock. Before them there had been many others, about whom we know very little. There was also Shrubsall right the way down the Peninsular at Point Wharf - down near where the Bullet from a Shooting Star sculpture is now. Edmunds were also in the area. Then, right up where the Ecology Centre is now, was Norton’s.
Perhaps I should also explain about the barge racing, which was a major feature in the design of some of the barges built in Greenwich. These races had begun in the late
19th century, when some of the big operating companies and their customers put up quite large sums of money as prizes for race winning barges – and some barges were built with race wins in mind rather than the haulage industry. The races still take place, but the number of participants today is restricted to those few remaining barges which are capable of taking part.
The fact that they took part in races also says something about their speed. For many of these barges it wasn’t just about getting the cargoes around but that they could move quickly if necessary - of course if the wind was right. I’m not going to claim that I’ve ever had much to do with the world of sailing barges – and perhaps I’m too easily impressed - but in the 1970s I went on holiday on Xylonite. She is a steel barge named for one of the earliest plastics. We were in Faversham and one day her owner/ operator said we would go to Harwich. Now, Faversham to Harwich is not an easy journey by road or rail, but it turns out to be quite straightforward by water. You get out into the estuary, turn left and then straight up the coast to Harwich. So we went out into the estuary and he turned into the wind to go north up the coast - and she just took off! This fairly plain vessel went over on her side and rocketed up to Harwich... and, as I said, she isn’t one of the fastest barges. Impressive.
There are numerous websites giving vast amounts of detail on sailing barges. I was particularly taken with an article on shipping wonders of the world (https://www. shippingwondersoftheworld.com/ thames_barges.html). It describes barges at the time when they were still operating commercially. I found it very
interesting and it describes in detail the sailing rig and why it works, as well as other construction issues which I can’t possibly begin to even describe.
However we are looking at barges built in Greenwich and there are quite a lot of them, very, very many that we know nothing about. I thought I would pick on a couple of them and just describe a small amount about them. As far as I know the only Greenwich built barge afloat is Orinoco, which I wrote about last week.
The most famous Greenwich barge - in fact, some people will claim, the most famous of all barges was Giralda - built by Piper’s in 1897 as a racing barge and using all sorts of special design features. Of course the race organisers expected the racing barges to be able to prove that they could also carry all the bricks and rubbish and stuff up and down the river like all the other barges. Giralda was never actually good at that, but she was extremely good at winning races. Enthusiast web sites give details of her designers and of the various men who commanded her during races. And also of her really rather ignominious later career.
Another famous Greenwich built barge and race winner was Veronica, built at Shrubsalls in 1906 and eventually hulked in 1976. There were many details about her and some relics at the Dolphin Sailing Barge Museum in Sittingbourne. The museum had closed down and I’m not sure if they have ever reopened - I suspect not. I don’t know what has happened to the exhibits and pieces of barges like Veronica. I understand that her mast is (or was) holding up the roof at Gravesend’s Riverview Park Library. She was hulked - that means
Mary Mills
left to rot - down on the mud flats on the river Swale, near the crossing over onto the Isle of Sheppey.
I remember going to a Docklands History group back in the early 1980s where the most unlikely people were all claiming that they owned various of these abandoned vessels. They all said they were going to restore them, even though many of the barges consisted of no more than a few planks sticking out of the mud and I am sure that none of them ever sailed again.
When I first started writing about sailing barges for my first book about the Greenwich Peninsula there were still two Greenwich barges, made
by Pipers, afloat. One of these was the James Piper. Alan and I went up to see her where she was still moored at Chiswick Mall and used as someone’s home. I thought she was most impressive and the vast space of the living room accommodation was amazing. However she has since been broken up and there is a very upsetting and brutal film on YouTube of this being done: https://www. youtube.com/watch?v=vqp03pwG4Vo
The other barge was Wilfred, which had being used for many years as a Spanish restaurant on the Embankment. Only last year, in January 2024, she capsized in a storm and was raised but then towed away. There are websites
which say she has gone to be broken up, but I am not sure exactly what has happened to her.
Thames sailing barges are an interesting and very involved subject. There’s at least one replica barge built a few years ago – others use some of the ideas behind them when they were commonly operational. There is an awful lot written about them which I could only begin to vaguely touch on here. Not only has a lot been written about their operation, but there are huge numbers of enthusiasts and of course many of the people who operate the few that are left and are very much involved in promoting them. Whatever I say here, quite honestly, is very inadequate.
SHAPE CHANGES TO FAMILY SUPPORT IN GREENWICH
The government’s proposed Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill could mean big changes to the way councils, schools and services work with families.
Locally, it means our Families First programme will need to adapt – and we want your voice at the centre. We’re launching three short surveys for:
• Parents and carers: share what works, what could be better, and where you’d like support.
• Children and young people: tell us what helps, what should change, and how you want to be involved.
• Partners and community sector: help us build stronger, joined-up services with families at the heart.
Councillor Adel Khaireh, Cabinet Member for Children and Young People, said:
“We know that families are the experts in their own lives. These proposed changes give us an important chance to listen and build services that put children and families at the heart of decision-making.
“We want to hear from parents, carers, young people, schools and community partners so that together we can shape a programme that truly supports Greenwich families ensuring young people are able to reach their full potential.”
Have your say by Monday 13 October at: royalgreenwich.gov. uk/shape-families-first
For help completing the survey, email FamiliesFirstInGreenwich@ royalgreenwich.gov.uk

IS WHAT HAPPENED TO THE HOMES ADVERTISED IN ISSUE 974
MOVE TO A SMALLER PROPERTY
If your property is now too big for you, you can apply for the Small is Beautiful scheme.
To be eligible, your current property must:
• be a council or housing association property
• have 2, 3, 4 or 5 bedrooms
• be in the Royal Borough of Greenwich
The scheme can help you move to a smaller home that better meets your needs. We can then use your property to help another family who need it. For example, those in an overcrowded property or who are homeless.
WHAT YOU’LL GET
We’ll help you with costs and finding a new home that better meets your needs.
Financial benefits
We’ll pay:
• £1,000 for each spare room you give up
• an extra £500 if you downsize by mutual exchange
• your moving costs
• your disturbance costs, for example, for packing, disconnecting and reconnecting your appliances
Priority to find a new home
We’ll put your household in the highest priority band on the housing register so you can find a new home as soon as possible.
An Under Occupation Adviser will support you throughout the downsizing process.
Extra support for households with adult children
If you have non-dependant adult children living with you, we can offer them their own flat, if we can get a bedroom back. This means you and your adult child will each get a one-bedroom flat.
Extra support for older tenants
If you’re Pension Credit age you can downsize to a home with one extra bedroom to allow for caring or support needs.
We can visit you and support you with everything you need to downsize.
WHO CAN APPLY
You can apply if you’re under-occupying your home by at least one bedroom.
When we decide if a tenant is under-occupying, we count a second living room (or parlour) as a bedroom.
