I agree the whole thing looks politically motivated, but in this case I
don't think that's really a bad thing. The eastern end of the Thames really
does need regenerating, and Canary Wharf could do with another line to the
centre of town as I believe the existing ones are already pushing capacity.


There is quite a large area of South-East London that seems to be
missing out on transport improvements - from Bromley in the south
therough Sidcup and Eltham (where I live) up to Bexleyheath in the
north. Some maps add insult to injury by placing the "key to symbols"
box over this area.

Grenwich Council's transport policy involves campaigning for
improvements in the northern, Thamesside part of the Borough while
ignoring the needs of the south. The political map of the Borough
might suggest why this is the case.

Does anyone have any suggestions for improving transport in the
Cinderella parts of SE London? Would it be a realistic long-term
project to lobby for a new tube line starting say at Sidcup and
running through Eltham, Kidbrooke and Charlton to link with the
Jubilee at North Greenwich or Canary Wharf and then continue through
Hackney to finish at Finsbury Park or Tottenham Hale? This would
greatly improve transport links to Docklands and really help shift
Lonson's centre of gravity to the East.
