The photograph on this page of River Thames from the former Millwall Dock entrance by Chris Allen as part of the Geograph project.
The Geograph project started in 2005 with the aim of publishing, organising and preserving representative images for every square kilometre of Great Britain, Ireland and the Isle of Man.
There are currently over 7.5m images from over 14,400 individuals and you can help contribute to the project by visiting https://www.geograph.org.uk

This entrance is now firmly blocked. I was photographing an hydraulic jigger when one of my colleagues spotted the Motor Vessel Balmoral going past at a rate of knots. The Shard and the Swiss Re (Gherkin) building are visible in the background.
