Originally constructed as the Royal Hospital for Seamen, it provided accommodation for retired sailors until 1869, when it became the Royal Naval College, training officers for the Royal Navy until 1998. The complex’s twin domed buildings and grand colonnades form one of London’s most iconic riverside vistas. Today, the site is part of the Greenwich Maritime World Heritage Site, housing the University of Greenwich, Trinity Laban Conservatoire, and the celebrated Painted Hall, whose vast ceiling by Sir James Thornhill depicts Britain’s naval and royal triumphs.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/darlo2009/">MKDarlo (Richard)</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/darlo2009/55423097603/" title="London"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55423097603_411b9ce95a_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="London" /></a></p> <p>Trinity Buoy Wharf is London's only surviving lighthouse, located by the confluence of the River Thames and Bow Creek on the Leamouth Peninsula, Poplar.<br /> <br /> In 1803, the site began to be used by the Elder Brethren of Trinity House, now known as Corporation of Trinity House. The seawall was reconstructed in 1822 by George Mundy of Old Ford. The site was used as a maintenance depot, and storage facility for the many buoys that aided navigation on the Thames; and the wharf for docking and repair of lightships.<br /> <br /> The original lighthouse was built by the engineer of Trinity House, James Walker, in 1852, and was demolished in the late 1920s. A second lighthouse, which survives, was built in 1864–66 by James Douglass for Trinity House. The lantern at the top of the tower came from the Paris Exposition of 1867, where Trinity House had used it to demonstrate Professor Holmes's improved system of electric lighting for lighthouses. Initially it housed ('for experimental purposes') the optical equipment which had been shown at the Exposition. Michael Faraday carried out experiments there. It was later used to test lighting systems for Trinity House's lights around England and Wales. Both lighthouses were also used for training prospective lighthouse keepers<br /> <br /> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinity_Buoy_Wharf" rel="noreferrer nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinity_Buoy_Wharf</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/darlo2009/">MKDarlo (Richard)</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/darlo2009/55421860117/" title="London"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55421860117_631d2b3c56_m.jpg" width="160" height="240" alt="London" /></a></p> <p>The London Cable Car—originally the Emirates Air Line, later the IFS Cloud Cable Car—is a gondola lift crossing the River Thames between Greenwich Peninsula and the Royal Docks, opened in June 2012. Built by Doppelmayr for around £60 million, it rises up to 90 m above the river and runs for 1.1 km, offering both a transport link and panoramic views of east London. It carries up to 2,500 passengers per hour, with 36 gondolas and a typical crossing time of 10 minutes (5 minutes at peak). Sponsorship has changed over time: Emirates (2012–2022), IFS (2022–2026). Annual ridership in 2023 was 1.47 million, with usage historically fluctuating—high during the 2012 Olympics but often low for regular commuting. Critics have labelled it a “white elephant” due to cost overruns and limited commuter appeal, though it remains a distinctive part of London’s transport and tourist landscape.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/lezfoto/">LezFoto</a> posted a video:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lezfoto/55422833391/" title="PXL_20260726_160756693"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/31337/55422833391_a57847cdf4_m.jpg" width="240" height="135" alt="PXL_20260726_160756693" /></a></p> <p>Puffin, Fratercula Arctica,<br /> Bullers of Buchan, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, United Kingdom</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/149024960@N07/">jamietunstall</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/149024960@N07/55422986948/" title="Stagecoach 15763"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55422986948_1970392301_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Stagecoach 15763" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/149024960@N07/">jamietunstall</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/149024960@N07/55423030479/" title="Stagecoach 37619"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55423030479_48a6e1d348_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Stagecoach 37619" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/149024960@N07/">jamietunstall</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/149024960@N07/55423032559/" title="Stagecoach 27702"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55423032559_abb6fcc9a6_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Stagecoach 27702" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/149024960@N07/">jamietunstall</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/149024960@N07/55421882702/" title="Stagecoach 27701"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55421882702_85f012393a_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Stagecoach 27701" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/149024960@N07/">jamietunstall</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/149024960@N07/55423251150/" title="Stagecoach 37618"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55423251150_44ceef2e6e_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Stagecoach 37618" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/149024960@N07/">jamietunstall</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/149024960@N07/55423030494/" title="Stagecoach 37621"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55423030494_9433189cdd_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Stagecoach 37621" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/lezfoto/">LezFoto</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lezfoto/55423231780/" title="PXL_20260724_191446020"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55423231780_e06b2aa7cd_m.jpg" width="240" height="181" alt="PXL_20260724_191446020" /></a></p> <p>Smoke from the wildfires in the Cairngorms,<br /> Willowbank Road, Aberdeen, Scotland, United Kingdom</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/iancampsall/">Ian Campsall</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/iancampsall/55421373237/" title="Early Morning On The Thames"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55421373237_15a86d0d63_m.jpg" width="240" height="119" alt="Early Morning On The Thames" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/rkc01/">R.K.C.
