Explore Secret Stories Abbey Wood’s Rebels & Rhino Tour, a self-guided interactive walking tour to enjoy whenever you want. This tour is part of an Ordnance Survey series of bite-sized, tongue-in-cheek stories for you to read out loud. Expect nutty nature, smelly smugglers, raucous royals you get the idea. It’s hard to imagine that Plumstead and Abbey Wood’s peaceful green spaces have such a turbulent and, at times, bloody history. From highwaymen, who were rumoured to have rode through East Wickham Open Space on horseback, to the treacherous plot that led to the creation of Lesnes Abbey — there’s so much waiting to be discovered in this corner of south east London. In fact, this story stretches back 50 million years to when the area was a huge ocean, inhabited by ancient turtles and fish. But they’re not the only residents of the area to leave their mark — Bronze Age settlers and the Romans have made theirs too, in their own unique way.
