Now is very much the time to go and walk this stretch of the river, for it has already changed and within a year much of it will be gone. The best way to do so is to catch the DLR to Cutty Sark for Maritime Greenwich and walk along the river to the O2 and North Greenwich tube station. If you allow enough time, you may even get to enjoy a half at the Cutty Sark, one of London's best riverside pubs.

I have taken the DLRailway to Cutty Sark for Maritime Greenwich before, and have had one or two glasses in the pub!! But I always fear change for change's sake. Blocks of luxury flats will take all the good views of the water, block out the sun and end hundreds of years of historical cityscape.
