A pleasant alternative to the fume-choked Blackwall Tunnel which offers wonderful views as a bonus! The loading jetty on the Woolwich side gives an amazing view of London, it takes in the Thames Barrier, Dome, Canary Wharf, Gherkin etc, right back to the West End and the Post Office tower, all linked by the shimmering thread of the Thames.
Woolwich/North Woolwich
Take the elevator up to the restaurant then follow the markers for the viewing platform. It gives wonderful views over London and the Thames, and it's free!
