Canary Wharf, London. I haven't seen this one before so it must be a new installation but it looks like another Helaine Blumenfeld piece. She has many on the estate.

The appproach to Tower Bridge

This former matchworks in Bow was once the largest factory in London, employing almost 5,000 people - most of whom were women or girls.

The building in the foreground is the entrance lodge on Fairfield Road which was built in the second half of the 19th century. The main factory buildings behind were rebuilt in 1909-10, adding two water towers (one seen here) to serve the sprinkler system.

The whole factory site was redeveloped and converted into residential apartments (now called Bow Quarter) at the end of the 1980s.

View from the Lower Lea Crossing flyover towards the O2 Arena on the other side of the Thames. This area is undergoing major redevelopment, not least being the new road tunnel under the river.

Andrew Baldwin's 'Cab Tree' sculpture on the roof of the café at Trinity Buoy Wharf, London. The lantern of Lightship 95 is behind which has been converted into a floating recording studio. The cable car which crosses The Thames between North Greenwich and Royal Victoria Dock is in the background.
