Surrey Docks Health Centre
From this angle, the building on Downtown Road, Rotherhithe appeared disused with the entrance door boarded up, but it still appears on an NHS website and others to be functioning, so presumably there is another entrance round the other side.

Stepping stones at Russia Dock Woodland
Russia Dock was part of the Surrey Commercial Docks and was originally used for the importing of timber from Norway, Russia and Sweden. The soft wood was mostly used for paper for prints and for furniture. Following the closure of the Surrey Commercial Docks in the 1970s, Russia Dock was in filled in 1980, apart from a thin 'stream', and planted as a woodland in the same year. A series of water channels and ponds provided habitats for kingfishers and herons. It still contains surviving dock features including the retaining wall capstones, depth gauges, bollards, mooring chains and tracks. Here the stream passes from a pond to a marsh and a set of stepping stones have been provided.

Electrical installation on Downtown Road
A very heavily guarded substation: OpenStreetMap shows a shaft to the Jubilee Line here, so perhaps this is the electrical supply to the trains, or powering ventilation fans?

Russia Dock Woodland
One of the large Surrey Docks, Russia Dock was infilled and grassed over to make an urban woodland. The main path through the woods (right) was the dockside and the crane rails are still visible.
