For anyone walking or cycling the Thames Path westwards from Woolwich for the first time there is a surprise: it comes to a dead end, within sight of the Thames Barrier 600m upstream, but with a not-very-well signed diversion of 1.6km to get there. Attempts by local campaigners and Sustrans to get the "missing link" completed have so far failed.
