View of the Old Royal Naval College from over the river - access is via DLR or the foot tunnel (beware inoperative lifts!) A few more boats would have helped. Mind you, a less grey day would have been better still.

It's possible to descend steps to get down river level for a closer look at the Tall Ships (well, the few that were present on my visit - a few more did turn up). That's a river bus arriving from Woolwich for a trip up to Central London
