Greenwich and Blackheath
Thursday 25th November 2021
I took the day off work today, and had planned to visit a friend down in Blackheath, but somehow we got our wires crossed a bit and ultimately didn't end up meeting. Anyway it made for a pleasant change of scenery.

The view from Blackfriars station.

10:10:36
I walked along from Blackfriars to Bankside Pier, and took in some views across the "beach" en route.

10:11:05

10:11:49

10:15:56
Bankside Power Station, of which you get a good view from Bankside Pier.

10:33:47
On the boat now, there's the Shard and HMS Whadyacallit.

10:34:44
The Tower of London.

10:34:51

10:35:08
Slightly rubbish video of Tower Bridge.

10:35:53
Slightly less rubbish video of passing under Tower Bridge.

10:35:56
Tower Bridge.

10:35:59
I think that's quite nicely framed. Not always easy taking photos on a boat.

10:36:05

10:36:10

10:36:21
One side of Tower Bridge and the moon.

10:36:25

10:41:03
The boat going a bit faster having got beyond Tower Bridge.

11:24:37
Once in Greenwich I stopped off at Goddards to pick up pie and mash.

11:32:00
Then took a stroll through Greenwich Park.

11:33:24

11:35:22

11:36:13
Views from Greenwich Park partially obscured by this tree.

11:36:17

11:37:20
Clearer views from Greenwich Park.

11:37:24

11:37:55
I thought this little hillock in one corner with a view of a church spire was rather nice.

11:38:04
A charmingly rural scene.

11:40:22
I wanted to see the burial mounds in Greenwich Park, but alas they were fenced off.

11:41:51
This was as close as I could get.

11:41:55
Not really much to see!

11:49:57
Beyond Greenwich Park and onto Blackheath now - my first time to visit here (although we have driven through at least once).

11:57:42
The pond on Blackheath.

11:59:29
A stone.

12:04:32
It's rather flat, isn't it?

12:07:02
I thought I'd find a spot to sit and eat my pie and mash and wait for my friend to get in touch.

12:07:47
I'd picked up this Gevrey Chamberin in Greenwich and rather liked the juxtaposition of it with the pie and mash... Although I ended up not opening it.

12:08:16
More Gevrey Chambertin and pie and mash shots.

12:08:33

13:26:27
In the end I gave up waiting for my friend to get in touch, and got the train from Blackheath back home.

16:06:14
A street near home later on that day.

16:08:57
Some topical graffiti.

17:28:31
The bottle from earlier, wanted to get a better shot as I wasn't sure if the lable was easily visible on the earlier shots.
