All the terraces of the present Thames have provided London with flat land for development. The ‘Flats’ of East London are good examples of terrace surfaces. Wanstead Flats is a part of the Lynch Hill/Corbets Tey Terrace and the gravel of this terrace is thought to have been laid down by the river about 280,000 years ago (Marine Isotope Stages 10-8).
