The Town of Tomorrow celebrates 50 years of Thamesmead,
a 1960s new town built on the banks of the river Thames.
Using a combination of new and archive photography,
memories from residents down the years and an essay
exploring the history of this remarkable and influential
project, this is a book that helps reclaims and refocus the
past and the reputation of this bold and often misunderstood
part of London’s rich history.
