The riverside at Greenhithe is a pleasant place to be in summer with views upriver to the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge and downriver to Swanscombe and West Thurrock. The adjacent development at Ingress Park makes it a popular promenade. In the distance in this view is the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge carrying southbound traffic from the M25 across the Thames. The oil storage facilities are at Purfleet on the north bank of the river. Beyond the bridge is the chimney of the Littlebrook D Power Station which at 705 feet is the 4th tallest in the United Kingdom.
