Peninsular

There is a nub of land which juts into the River Thames. It’s a hive of modern development and activity, with sleek housing blocks, a lofty cable car and a landmark music and entertainment venue – the O2 Arena. A recent river walk took me to North Greenwich, and here are four images from this remarkable piece the capital’s territory.

Lovely images – tantalising glimpses into the architecture of the area, without actually giving anything away! :) I love the cranes and am really drawn to the portholes!:)

  Thanks Richard. I’m still slightly embarrassed that I didn’t know the cranes are a huge outdoor installation! A good Space Age little area.

Four really strong images! I think my favourite is probably the first one, but they are all very good.

  Thank you very much :) There’s a great deal to shoot in such a small area. It was pointed out to me today that the colourful cranes are an art installation!

  Hi Lee, they’re great, aren’t they? It turns out they’re a large-scale outdoor art installation which I had no idea about! Still, they caught my eye.
