The Market Porter pub right next to Borough Market at Southwark. The whole district is worth a visit, with the market, Southwark Cathedral the Golden Hind II and several other interesting things in close proximity, all of that in walking distance of London Bridge Station.

This pub however is extraordinary in it being a so called free pub. Meaning not connected to one particular brewery. And showing it by always having some about two dozen different beer and cider on tap that they also rotate around a bit over the seasons. That makes it well worth a visit. But be warned: As soon as the market closes, it will be quite full as you can see. So better visit a bit before that.

The Royal Victoria Dock with the ExCeL (Exhibition Centre London) on its northern bank, Britannia Village on the southern side, London City Airport with a starting plane behind it all and a train of the Docklands Light Railway service Woolwich line in the foreground.

This is a view north- and slightly westwards across Canning Town and the mouth of the River Lea towards the Olympic Park of the 2012 games. You can see the look-out behind the big blue building in the foreground and the Olympic Stadium just to the left of it.

The view eastwards down the river Thames from inside one of the cabins. The Thames Barrier well visible in the middle of the picture. The Woolwich ferry a bit further down the river. And to the left and beyond the two red cranes, you can just make out Woolwich Arsenal on the southbank.

This small mound, situated in the eastern part of the park that is usually not frequented much by tourists, does not look like much now does it. It is however the site of a most interesting archeological find. A small roman temple was situated here. Just beside an old roman road, as far as we can tell these days. It held a treasure trove of information about roman live around London for the historians, when it was found and excavated. The ruins were later covered up again to preserve what's left. Hence this is all we can see today.
