Ferry in dry dock. Note the TfL Streets sign on the side. Proof that this is indeed part of a major ring road.

Heading away from the Woolwich Ferry. Yes, this is part of one of the most famous ring roads in Britain. Hard to tell, really.

Downstream from Central London, there are not many places for road traffic to cross the Thames. East of Tower Bridge, the crossings are tunnels (at Rotherhithe, Blackwall and Dartford), a bridge at Dartford and here at Woolwich, a ferry.


In this image, cars are queueing for the ferry. The car park to the left of the image is a holding area for when the queues get longer, to try to prevent queueing vehicles from blocking the roads in Woolwich itself. A ferry boat can be seen at the pier on the opposite side of the river, at North Woolwich.

The approach road to the Woolwich Ferry is lit with these post-top Iridiums with side branches bearing another Iridium. I have a feeling there were Trafficvisions here before, and must have been here until recently as the Iridiums look new! Also on the road were some GEC mercury lanterns (I think they were Z8430s) on some very long brackets, but they've all been retrofitted with SGS203s now!
