I lived I lived in Martens Avenue from 1974 to 1994, I remember in the 80s a sink hole in breamar cres. Clearly a problem round there, my guess is dried aquifer, but I am no geologist
From my understanding Thames water leak seems the likely candidate about 15 Thames water staff there and looks like surveyors and people with measuring devices etc walked past a min ago whilst taking dog for his evening walk
Might be Guiness Book Of Records down there for biggest pot-hole.

They're probably there to survey their nearby plant. Checking for damage etc.
Kate Bush was raised and reared in Lee. Her first gig was in the Rose of Lee. Either way Kate is another reason why South East London is special.
She grew up in Wickham Street, believe her parents lived there until her dad died in the late 00's, the farm is still there although no idea if the family still own it. Used to have a big music studio out the back (been in it).

You mean East Wickham Farm Wickham Lane in Bexley, her father had a surgery there too I believe…..though not sure about that? Strangely, she later moved to a flat in a large house owned by her parents at 44, Wickham Road Brockley, shortly after signing her first record contract.

No it was definitely in Wickham Street, off Upper Wickham Lane which I believe leads into Wickham Lane? Either way the entrance was definitely on Wickham Street, maybe there was another entrance on Wickham Lane, and yes believe it was called East Wickham Farm, had a wooden sign outside.

My late Nan lived in Braeside Crescent in the 1980’s - the sink hole was in her next door neighbour’s garden - her neighbour had a little girl, about 7 years old - little girl was playing in the garden, went indoors for a drink, went to go back outside and told her Mum the garden had disappeared - Mum didn’t believe her until she got to back door and saw it - it was huge, and so deep that the Fire Service had to use a huge ladder to get down to the bottom of it - they never worked out what it was, with some thinking it was part of a Roman sewer
Deneholes are common in the area, but it wasn’t a denehole
My Nan wasn’t allowed in her own garden for months afterwards - I think it got capped off

Doctor, if I remember rightly. My mum visited to check he’d paid his NI.

here you go;
And then of course she had that big old place on Court Road in Eltham. No idea where she got the idea for the name though

Very lucky escape for that little girl
It happened again on another property in Braeside Cres in 2008 https://www.newsshopper.co.uk/news/2143162.residents-face-losing-homes-as-hole-grows/
