Since my previous Beckton offering got no traction, how about this one: Beckton Gas Works in the process of being dressed as Vietnam, for Kubrick's 'Full Metal Jacket'.

Beckton Alps
The 'Beckton Alps' is a gigantic slag heap - waste products from a town gas plant. There are rumours that there's an entire locomotive in there, but no-one dare excavate it, because it's so toxic. Given the 'Alps' name ironically. In the 90s, it was turned into an actual (artificial) ski slope, making fact out of fiction.
These days, it's just a hill - used for BMX and the like.
