Looking towards Canary Wharf - some birds have chosen to nest on the artificial islands, others just choose anywhere.


We were lucky as the rain held off and we were able to take full advantage of the amazing out door iron work sculpture of a boat's hull that has been brilliantly designed as a table for twenty.

This ironwork sculpture of a ship's hull has been ingeniously designed as a table that sits twenty - the perfect place Map Ramblers to get mapping.
