Yesterday was a beautiful day at Royal Docks. An area in East London that until 1981 was the largest enclosed dock area in the world covering 250 acres of water and 1100 acres in total. Now it is new housing. Excel, a large exhibition centre can be seen in the top left of the picture. Thursday this will be the venue for the G20 summit. The closest stops on the DLR (Dockland Light Rail) will be closed to the public. As will the footbridge to the Excel centre and the Connaught bridge to traffic. Late in the afternoon I saw several police buses, bikes and vans. I assume a test run. Or maybe just familiarising themselves with the route.Monday, March 30, 2009
