I’ve always wanted to go on the cable car — despite a pronounced fear of heights. The wait has been worth it! Perfect if you are in a group and have a cabin to yourselves. We went from North Greenwich to Royal Victoria Docks for fun — I don’t think this really is an essential transport link but more a decadent leisure trip for perfect for a day out, especially in clear weather. The cabs move surprisingly fast and the journey is over before you know it. An exciting part of exploring this area of London — Excel exhibition centre and Thames Barrier are in walking distance.
