Plumstead Common , London Borough of Greenwich. The name Plumstead comes from the large number of orchards which once covered this area. The Manor of Plumstead changed hands many times until in 1876 its use by the military led to a serious riot. As a result the Local Authority of the time bought the Common from Queens College for £9,000 so that it might be preserved as a public open space.
