South Metropolitan Gas Co war memorial
Apart from the two remaining gasholders, this is the only reminder that nearly the whole of the Greenwich Peninsula was once given over to the production of town gas.
It is headed "To the glory of God and the grateful memory of those employees of the South Metropolitan Gas Company attached to the East Greenwich, Phoenix Wharf and Ordnance Wharf works who, in response to the call of their King and country, sacrificed their lives during the Great War". 81 names follow.

Seat with no view
I doubt that anyone has sat on this bench since the hoarding was erected in front of it. It would originally had a view across open land towards the river Thames but when the hoarding is removed it will be facing the new high-rise City Peninsula development Image

New Apartments, John Harrison Way
The most likely John Harrison to have a street named in this former maritime district is this one. Wikipedia says :- "John Harrison (3 April [O.S. 24 March] 1693 – 24 March 1776) was a self-educated English carpenter and clockmaker who invented a marine chronometer, a long-sought-after device for solving the problem of calculating longitude while at sea."
There are undoubtedly other John Harrisons, so this is only a guess.
