In the foreground, construction is being started of another residential development on Greenwich High Road, glimpsed through a hole in the hoardings around the site. In the middle distance, three cranes mark the site of another development on Creek Road. In between are the historic coal sheds Image, which being listed could not easily be removed for development. In the far distance are the landmark towers of Canary Wharf.
