As the weather warms up on sunny days (though as I type, rain pours out of leaden skies just as it did on the Bank-to-Beckton day, as the picture proves), my focus has turned towards the Thames in the east of the capital. I mopped up, wrote up and published the three routes following the Docklands Light Railway, combining that with doing the eastern end of the Jubilee Line.
Now the Jubilee Line takes some effort. It crosses the river four times, and while getting from Waterloo to Westminster presents no problem, the other three crossings need lengthy detours. Between Canning Town and North Greenwich, the Woolwich Foot Tunnel must be used, and between North Greenwich and Canary Wharf, it’s the Greenwich Foot Tunnel (both of these feature in the DLR routes too). Between Canary Wharf and Canada Water, it has to be Tower Bridge, which is as far as I have reached so far. The bridge should be quieter when I set off for Canada Water, since there will be far fewer slack-jawed and slacker-legged tourists obstructing free passage.
