As a keen runner, running through Greenwich Park and on to the river side I see the Thames Barrier, which is not only the worlds second-largest movable flood barrier (after the Oosterscheldekering in the Netherlands) but is also an iconic site on what is fast becoming a recognised stretch for developers including the 02 and Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication.

Proper old school boozer in Rotherhithe with a deck overlooking the Thames

French Bistro style restaurant. Cozy atmosphere 

Home to hundreds of stray cats and dogs.
