| London Borough of Greenwich |
| This south-east London Borough contains the following places: Abbey Wood, Charlton, Eltham, Horn Park, Greenwich, Kidbrooke, Plumstead, Shooter's Hill and Woolwich. Also included in the Borough are parts of Blackheath, Chislehurst, Deptford, Lee, Lewisham, Mottingham, Sidcup and Thamesmead. This makes it quite difficult to put some postcards in the correct borough, so if I've made some mistakes - sorry ! Please tell me about them. |
