This road is now a suburban street with speed humps and a 20mph limit. But its width, straightness and the line of trees along one side are evidence of a grander past, when it was the A102 Blackwall Tunnel approach road. That role (and road number) now belong to the nearby 1970s dual carriageway seen in Image The skyscrapers on the Isle of Dogs on the far side of the Thames can be seen in the distance.
