After the race, you get to wander about; the teams are loading bikes (and riders) and there's plenty of autographs and photographs to be had

Mark Cavendish is the 3rd of the Omega Pharma-Quick Step riders seen here.
One of the official photographers stopped the motorbike here with the comment - "this looks scenic".

In hard pursuit

The Giant Shimano rider looks to be particularly suffering (maybe he's caught sight of the nasty short sharp hill just round the corner)
Tall Ships from Island Gardens

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
Brown fish

In the grounds of the Old Royal Naval College there was a small shoal of these brown fish in addition to the red and yellow ones.

In the grounds of the Old Royal Naval College , they were setting up for a fireworks display.
This is part of the Tall Ships Festival

A lot of building work around the old power station now. The chimneys will start to come down soon - the developers are promising to replace them.
