What?
We're all tourists at heart and wanna go on the big cable car! And boats! Yay! Emirates Air Line aka Cable Car over the Thames

- Go on Cable Car to Royal Victoria Docks. Possibly look around, marvel at it containing nothing, go back on the cable car. (10 minute journey on the cable car)(or go on DLR to Greenwich, 25 minutes)
- Go to Greenwich(via Jubilee line/DLR, North Greenwich - Greenwich 18 minutes) have dinner at [1] -OR- if it's a nice day, possibly pop to Greenwich Market(closes at 17:30 so aim for 16:30 at least) for tasty noms and have a picnic in the park instead.

Who?
Akki is organising this very loosely. We'll travel together but generally we're all paying our own way unless decided and bikeshedded otherwise.
