Is there any significance to those carefully shaped hedges, and I wonder how long until they're looking a bit overgrown? All looks very different from when I used to work at International Paint which was next to the Tate & Lyle factory and is now called Akzo Nobel.

I suspect the hedges at Thames Barrier Park are supposed to represent waves, but the TBP website is wholly underinformative in that respect.

It looked like the garden was being tended by real professionals, so I expect the hedges will stay looking sharp even throughout the winter.

Astonishing park, by the way.

Great photos, DG.

I wonder how long it'll be before the lifts are all out of service like on the rest of the DLR network.

(Not that I'm cynical, you understand.)

No lift service at Pontoon Dock would be a bit of a disaster. I don't think I could make it up - or down - those stairs!

Beautiful.

Up until 3 months ago I loved just a mile from DG. Almost brings a tear to my eye. Never thought I'd miss it all so.

A Reader - can I ask who you loved just a mile away from DG? It seem to be causing you such heartbreak. I'm sorry that was just such a brill typo I couldn't resist a little piss-take.

Anyway DG loving the photographs and trust you to be one of the first to take pictures there. Well done and also thank for giving me the heads up that it had opened early.

It's open?!

It seems like they were still putting the concrete up midsummer. Time moves quickly when you leave the metropolis.

This might be useful next time I fly in from Frankfurt. I can't see an up-to-date map on the tfl website. Am I missing something? Or is it another case of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing?!

I thought your comment :
"It's not exactly the busiest airport station in the world, is it?"
was a little harsh. Bear in mind there are no flights into or out of LCY from Saturday afternoon to Sunday Morning
due to noise regulations preventing
any take offs or landings :

and if no one knows the DLR is open...
or are you just trying to wind us up

I saw planes taking off from LCY after I took that photo on Saturday morning.

But you're right about Saturday afternoons being quiet. The few hundred residents of King George V are going to have the DLR to themselves once the rest of us get tired of taking photos.
