When the weather fails to raise the temperatures high enough for swimming and buckets and spades, nature-lovers can still be found on Beckton Beach, and reports of whale sightings and also otters and the rare poisson d’avril continue to attract many in the winter months, whilst in the evenings drinkers come to enjoy a sunset tipple in the champagne bar at Gallions Point Marina.

Love it! :-D
ReplyDeleteHaha you got me! I skim-read through because I was thinking, no, Beckton doesn't have a beach, especially not one that looks like that, must be some other Beckton. But I caught the reference to "Gallions Point Marina" and gasworks so was intrigued enough to click through on the link... Lol, although if I'd read it properly and seen the whales and otters and "poisson d'avril", you'd have been rumbled...serves me right :D
