The litter is paper cups - there was a drink station a few gulps back. The ornate gateway on the left and immediately flanking buildings are all that now remain of the Free Trade Wharf buildings after redevelopment. However, the gateway is changed out of all recognition and has become arched - all that really remains is upper part of the statuary. The church in the distance is St Paul's, Shadwell, completed 1820.
