Which it really was, until 1965! Well, it was the northern part of the
Metropolitan Borough of Woolwich at least. And part of the county of
Kent to boot. You've Billy the Conqueror and his mate Hamon to thank
for this.

It was in the County of London throughout its time in the Metropolitan
Borough of Woolwich.

I also thought it was movement of the course of the river that was more
responsible but there you go.
