Latest Canary Wharf tower on the left with Elizabeth line station ahead. Part of the North Quay expansion of Canary Wharf towards Poplar.

i once threw up at a smashing pumpkins concert and billy corgan has yet to ask me if i’m feeling any better.

Greenwich Town Hall looking as majestic as ever. I love this building. Just wonderful.

WHY ISN'T ANYONE TALKING ABOUT THE REAL NEWS STORIES!!!

The basic wrong is Team Starmer hired Mandelson cos they approved of Mandelson's career -pushing Labour to pro corporate, pro privatisation etc. policies in Govt, then using his govt contracts to get a big £ career from corporations after Govt -and want to have the same career.

If Starmer knew what that Mandelson failed his security vetting and didn’t tell Parliament, he lied to the house and should resign. If he really didn’t know that Mandelson failed his vetting, he’s incompetent and should resign.

Okay, we are being asked to believe that the statement from Starmer below is not actually a brazen, conscious lie, but the product of a man who, despite once being one of the UK's foremost legal officers, is as dumb as a coat stand, or a drawer full of spoons.

Third rail on the left. SE Metro. Overhead wires on the right. Liz line. As seen from Abbey Wood

So the whole fawning at the court of King Trump, the mad OTT announcement of an undefined trade deal, the Mandelson affair, the invitation from King Charles, and soon the royal visit to the US.... all of it for nothing because we don't follow Donald C*** down into his self-made abyss of insanity.

Revealed: Mandelson failed vetting but Foreign Office overruled decision

11/ ... @murkydepths.bsky.social has written about the woes of the #Silvertown bike bus. Major issue is the wrong location in Greenwich, poor access and the dire state of Greenwich's roads and cycle tracks. www.fromthemurkydepths.co.uk/2026/04/13/s...

I wrote a post this week about the Silvertown tunnel cycle bus. Unlikely to succeed but still, no effort at all to improve connections to it south of the river in Greenwich. Different in Newham where a wide network is being created via S106, CIL and TfL funds. This is metres away

On the other side of the coin, Woolwich's new leisure centre is generally very good.

Got to be one of the worst recent builds in London.

I did chuckle seeing Labour launch their manifesto at a new college in Plumstead. A site where they recently supported bus service cuts outside when the 472 was axed for Superloop route. The only place in London this has happened. You'd think they'd have raised it to TfL. Nope.

Clearly how economists are taught to think. Even Krugman does it. "This statistic shows the economy is strong, and the fact that most people in their 30s will never own a house has no bearing on this strong economy."

Recently installed bridge in Stratford to enable housing development. Great to see

Many wonderful buildings in Woolwich. So often overlooked just how fantastic many are across town

Condemned housing near Custom House Elizabeth line station, with new homes behind

Nice. Goes down well.

How useless the Tories and Labour have been with housing over the past 40 years - and this govt is little different. All resulting in ever more public money to the pockets of private interest. Not building social housing doesn't save. Simply means public purse pays ever more to private landlords

More old Greenwich logo action! Proudly adorning a communal bin

Now that’s what I call Bluesky Part 365

all the crew members have exited the vehicle, feeling well, and are even eating a little food.

Nice to see the old logo lives on in places. None of this royal borough nonsense. Which for those of us who grew up and lived on long neglected estates is and was always amusing bullshit

North Greenwich bus station at a rarely quiet time. It was supposed to be rebuilt by developer Knight Dragon when 3,000 homes built on Greenwich peninsula. Greenwich let them change that recently to 6k homes. I still suspect that's why SE London bus routes are being cut. See 472 and Superloop SL11

Thamesmead town centre. Started out well.

DLR escalator replacement ongoing at Woolwich Arsenal station. Often taken about when I think it's 17 years since the station opened.

Cycleway 4 work continues in Charlton and Woolwich.
