East Lane, SE16

East Lane originally ran from Neckinger to the River Thames at East Lane Stairs. It was an ancient thoroughfare and many of its first properties dated from before 1750.

Along the street was East Lane School, a London Council Council infant’s school now to the north of the current route of East Lane. Its site is now under St Michaels Roman Catholic School.

Peabody Dwellings was also along the road. This was an early concrete-built Peabody estate, demolished after the Second World War.
