We are spending 4 days in London Albert Dock area and here a few images from a walk last night along the north side looking towards Canary Wharf one way and along City airport the other direction.
We walked the Thames path from the Arsenal to the Ferry a couple of evenings photographing the Ferry and the lights of Canary Wharf.
Every Saturday, as a child I would walk with my mother to Woolwich to do our weekly shopping in the Market, which filled the whole of Beresford Square. It is now very restricted in area with much of the Square turned into public concrete area. The town has a great variety of shops, a lot of them with wonderful ethnic and fresh foods. However, we did wonder what people do in the evening now. There are still some pubs but the public swimming pool has gone (only an expensive gym and pool complex) and no cinemas and very few cafes or restaurants open at night. The former Granada Cinema, the Ebenezer Building (1930s) is now the Cathedral of Christ Faith Tabernacle with a seating capacity of nearly 2500 and the Coronet Cinema is now the New Wine Church with a capacity of 3,000 members.
