Most people are very familiar with the Thames in central London, but few
venture east of Greenwich. Last Saturday I decided to see what I was
missing, going on a guided boat trip down the river. It's an environment
that's changing rapidly, with much of the old industrial landscape being
replaced by colourful new buildings.

I've uploaded a few pictures:

One thing that struck me was how busy the river is with passenger boats
between Westminster and Greenwich, but you don't see many further east.

East of Greenwich is a long way from central London (for a boat), not very
pretty and with little of interest to most tourists.


You get a different perspective from the water. The canals in
Birmingham are another example albeit on a different scale.
