Walk of Revelations - Gallions Point, Albert Island & North Woolwich (4K)

Fascinating walk around Gallions Point, Albert Island and North Woolwich guided by a local resident - an area of fantastic history on the edge of the old Royal Docks undergoing enormous change. A slogan on one of the developments reads, 'London is Moving East', as if this wasn't part of London and were terra nullius waiting to be claimed. We see the Gallions Point Marina about to be evicted and demolished to make way for the new Albert Island development by the GLA. The planes from City Airport continuously fly overhead and the new building of the new runway will increase the number of flights. We also walk through Royal Albert Wharf and see the Riverside development. Two beautiful hidden beaches are visited with incredible views across the Thames. Finally we see the remains of the Royal Pavilion (or Royal Victoria) Pleasure Gardens and the majestic old North Woolwich Station.

Many thanks to my local guide.
