It seems that every year, about this time of the year, the Woolwich
Ferry visits the Upper Pool of London. Here are this year's Tower Bridge
lift times:

Sat 22 Jul 16:30 Woolwich Ferry Up
Sat 22 Jul 17:00 Woolwich Ferry Down
Sun 23 Jul 18:30 Woolwich Ferry Up
Sun 23 Jul 19:00 Woolwich Ferry Down

Does anyone here know why the Woolwich Ferry ventures so far upriver?

Only one way to find out. I'd go and follow it myself, but i'll be away
that weekend. So, anyone else here able to spare a couple of hours down at
the Tower on a summer saturday?

I don't know what my plans for later in July will be yet, although I've
got an idea that I'm deputising for an absent bassoonist and will be
playing with the Beckenham Concert Band on one of those days. I might be
able to go up to town for the other day, but won't commit myself just
yet.

I have to admit that I'm curious. Do they do it to show that they can?
Are they on a promotional visit? Surely they can't drive cars on and off
it in the Upper Pool, as I don't think they have the right dockside
facilities.
