#24 – Ride the Greenwich cable car

Ever since the Greenwich Cable car opened in June 2012 I fancied taking a ride on it.   Not to reach the destinations either side of the route, they really didn’t really matter to me – it was the novelty of the ride and the hope of good views and hopefully a few decent photos into the bargain. 

So one evening after work we headed into London and across to the O2.  Since we had no interest in visiting the other side of the river we got a 360° ticket which meant we could go over and back without getting off.  We had timed it well and thankfully had a pretty nice sunset to enjoy.  It wasn’t very busy and so it was only the two of us in our cabin.  It is not a particularly long ride in either direction but we kept ourselves busy taking photos and enjoying the views together.

 

Getting back to Greenwich we alighted, took a few more pictures and headed off to find someone nice to eat.  A fairly brief event, but fun.  Thank you to Boris for spending all that money on it just so that I could enjoy a ride!
