Last weekend, on our way to an event in the East End of London, we crossed the Thames with Lucy and Chris on the new Tfl cable car (also known as the Emirates Air Line) that was installed just in time for the Olympics.
Below us the river was swirling. The views in the dark were spectacular, particlarly of The O2 (formerly The Millenium Dome) and the Excel Arena. In the distance was the Thames Barrier and we could see Canary Wharf clearly.
I hope you enjoy the video and the chit-chat going on; Maggie has a vivid sense of imagination.

Here is another video, this time going both ways in dailylight, and 4X speed, from the Emirates Air Line web site.
