The Underground seems the glaring omission, unless that is deliberate
or taken as read.

If there's time it would be worth taking in Bank (for the original "Mind
the Gap" announcement, which could lead on to the DLR, Dangleway, and
then a JLE station with PEDs).

I'm planning a day trip around London for some Cambridge students who may
not know it well. I'm trying to work out an itinerary for early December,
either Friday 5th or Saturday 6th. I've got an initial list of places or
feature to visit or pass through:

DLR
Overground, inc East London, Crystal Palace
Tramlink
Woolwich ferry
New Routemaster
Old Routemaster, H15 or H9

There's a specific reason for including Crystal Palace. Anyone see anything
or anywhere worthwhile I'm overlooking?

As you seem to be in that neck of the woods already, how about trip on
the dangleway?

A good idea but I think that would bring the number of East London crossings
of the river to 4!

That was a possible alternative to the Woolwich Ferry although one could hop
off the DLR at Cutty Sark and re-embark at Island Gardens.

The Greenwich tunnel is certainly a popular route with Canary Wharf
cycle commuters - actually getting on the bike isn't a done thing, but
'scooting' it a bit isn't entirely unknown.

Maybe looking a bit to the future, visit the Battersea Power station site,
soon to include the Northern Line extension? Or at least take a ride out of
Victoria, keeping an eye on it. The walk from Vauxhall is quite
interesting, watching the properties that will pay for the extension
shooting up.

The Thameslink route from St P (take a look at the new tunnels to the GN
from the platform) to Blackfriars (new southern entrance) or London Bridge
is interesting.

Also thinking of the future, Victoria Coach Station might not be around
forever. Not sure how it compares historically, but it's pretty busy
these days.

And thinking of Battersea, there's the heliport (though that's
significantly further west).
