Or isn't that what you mean?

No Sorry I meant interesting things to go and see.


It's not what you're after but nontheless it could be "interesting" (as
in generally chaotic!):

Saturday, 7 Oct 06.

"Services to and from London Euston will start and terminate at Harrow
& Wealdstone all day. Passengers are advised to change onto London
Undergrounds Bakerloo Line for onward connections. Passengers with
bicycles will need to travel on Silverlink Metro's due to London
Underground restrictions."


Alternatively you could take him on the DLR's new City Airport
extension, possibly getting off to explore the Thames Barrier Park at
Pontoon Dock station.

Incidentally nothing moves at the airport between 12:30pm saturday to
12:30pm sunday. This 24 hours of quiet is one of the restrictions
placed on the airport.

Plus if you're in the area you could travel on the North London Line
between North Woolwich and Canning Town, which is due to close soon.
North Woolwich is just around the corner from King George V DLR
station, the terminus of the extension - at least for now - a tunnel is
being dug from there to take the DLR to Woolwich. I think you can see
some of the construction work from the King George V station (but don't
hold me to that!).

Year I was thinking of this actually, think he might have gone on the
NLL but not the DLR. And the Thames Barrier itself is probably worth a
visit


If you go to see the Thames Barrier, you might to wait until Sunday, when I
believe it will be closed.
