As a contrast with all those images of The Millennium Dome in this grid square, here, a kilometre away north-eastwards across the Thames, is the Twilight Nitespot at the junction of Peto Street North with Victoria Dock Road. The glazed green brickwork suggests this may have been a public house in years gone by. Peto Street North is named after Sir Samuel Morton Peto (1809-1889) who was one of the promoters and designers of the nearby Victoria Dock. Update August 2019 Historic StreetView images show the building extant in August 2008, but demolished by October 2009. Old large scale Ordnance Survey maps available online show the building as The Lord Nelson public house in 1951, but as a works in the early 1970s. The road in front of the pub was actually Victoria Dock Road, which is currently closed off, with Peto Street North, which is still open, just visible to the right.
