Access Road into Royal Victoria Dock from North Woolwich Road
A large regeneration project is proposed here, called Silvertown Quays. The development will include 5,000 new homes (including over 1,300 affordable units), 7,800 sq m of office space, 7,600 sq m of flexible workspace, 8,000 sq m of community facilities, 5,570 sq m of restaurants and bars and 18,925 sq m of leisure facilities including the aquarium project known as Biota! which is being developed by KUD International with the Zoological Society of London (ZSL).
The planning agreement with the London Borough of Newham provides for the Biota! project and a contribution of £25 million towards the cost of infrastructure and local community benefits including a multi-use community centre, a modern library, a major new health centre and a primary school with nursery facilities.
There will also be new public open spaces and landscaping, better pedestrian, bus and cycle routes and a new pedestrian bridge across the North Woolwich Road to the new Docklands Light Railway station, which will be subject to an early architectural competition.There will also be high quality restaurants and retail units in what will become a "lively town centre".
Over £1m has been committed for training local people. It is expected that upwards of 2,000 jobs will be created with 25 per cent earmarked for Newham residents along with 25 percent of the construction jobs. Ten per cent of the construction jobs will be apprenticeships.
The developers have secured a £119m loan facility from the Bank of Scotland which will be used to finance the development.

The Docklands Light Railway from Pontoon Dock station
This was a bitterly cold day as the sun set - the coldest day since the previous winter. This view is from Pontoon Dock station on the Docklands Light Railway. The next station in this direction is City Airport and the spire of St Mark's, Silvertown can be seen in the distance - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4799508 North Woolwich Road is on the left here. Most of this section of the DLR is on a viaduct all the way from Canning Town to King George V.
The extension of the Docklands Light Railway from Canning Town to King George V opened on 2nd December 2005 at the same time as Pontoon Dock station. On 12th January 2009, the extension under the Thames to Woolwich Arsenal was opened.

South side of Pontoon Dock station
The southern side of this elevated DLR station, with the eastern of the two staircases to platform level (the western one also has a lift).
From the water on the road in the foreground on a dry day I deduced there was a leaking water main somewhere.
