As elsewhere around the Greenwich Peninsula, reed beds have been planted in a way that they are flooded at high tide and give a slightly more 'natural' feel to the otherwise solid concrete river wall. The idea can be clearly seen here. Beyond is the sliced ship 'A Slice of Reality', see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2358131 Across the river are exciting views of Canary Wharf and its attendant office blocks.
