Cable Car in London

   The new Cable Car service over the Thames, in east London opened last week, and at the weekend I had my first - hopefully of many - trips on it. The service straddles the Thames from the North Greenwich Arena on the south of the river to the Royal Docks on the north ,,, which was my direction of travel.

   Had some stunning view over east London, including the Thames Barrier, and the many sites for the upcoming Olympic Games, due in a couple of weeks. My only complaint was that the trip was over all too quickly - about 5 minutes.   Had to queue for about half an hour - and looking at the queue in the 4th image (from the top), it had lengthened after me ... is the service becoming a tourist attraction already ?  Next time I'll try going from north to south.
