Hopefully, people buying a dwelling will visit it before purchase, so experience the travel options first hand. 'Hikes' to the nearest station might be the only exercise they get on weekdays.

And all those people who want to knock down low-rise London and replace it with high density flats to solve the housing 'crisis', this is what the result is going to be. Hope you like it.
Virtually all new developments get the same hype when it comes their advertising, Fish Island in Bow is being described as "The New Shoreditch" which fills me with horror and will if it becomes true result in me selling up and moving on as fast as I can.
Most of these apartment block are marketed in Hong Kong / Singapore. The owners never visit before buying - often don't visit after buying either. Just rent them out or leave empty.
Same on the Isle of Dogs, look at night and see how few flats have any lights on in these new blocks.
Love that you corrected the misspelling on the cable car 😉
But there is a housing crisis in London. Those who don't like this kind of solution to it - which may well be most of us - really need to come up with a better one, rather than just being negative.
I can confirm from direct experience that watching the arriving and departing Thames Clippers gives the same frisson of joy as the arrival and departure of steam trains/racing cars/motors operated at full throttle and all done with plenty of oooph.
It would be quicker to get to the Greenwich Peninsula by using the DLR and Underground.
"The Thames Clipper service runs every half hour, roughly speaking, except between 10am and 5pm on weekdays when it doesn't operate at all."
A rather significant exception, one would've thought.
The RyanAir method of advertising how near their destinations are to the claimed city. Gerona-Barcelona, Lubeck-Hamburg! Might as was admit that London Oxford Airport is nowhere near London...!
I think the architects deserve a plug, as it is a lovely bit of design. You can see their waffle and some nice visualisations here.
The pier officially opened on 7th November, three weeks after it opened.
