The O2 Arena with the River Thames curling round the south-east edge of Blackwall Point (a navigational point). The tall building on the right is in John Julius Close and the block on the left is off Newport Avenue. The former Grade II-listed "Blackwall Engineering Co." dry dock can be made out in the centre of the picture beyond the parked cars. This was part of a shipyard for over 350 years. It closed in 1987. The car at the front of the picture is travelling along Aspen Way (the A1261 towards central London).
