East London has been the part of London that has witnessed the greatest transformation in recent years and no where can one appreciate this more than from the city’s only cable car. South of the river, the cable car is accessed from the iconic entertainment hub at the O2 arena with the Royal Victoria station on the Docklands Light Railway within walking distance on the river’s northern side. The cable car rises up quickly from its station and the informative video and audio commentary highlights the area’s extraordinary history with London’s docks being one of the world’s greatest trade posts. To the west, the cable car affords tremendous views down the river to Canary Wharf. To the east, the river meanders its way through the Thames Barrier flood defence. This unique perspective on the London skyline is well worth taking to the skies for the trip over the river.  #london #views #viewpoint
