Because of the curve of the river to the north around the Greenwich peninsula this view from the path along the south bank appears to be looking across the river while looking at Greenwich on the same bank.
 
The bulk of Greenwich Power Station at left, one of the oldest operational power stations in the world, though now only on standby. Building began in 1902 and the station opened in 1906. Originally coal-fired it has been converted to oil and gas and there are plans to fit new gas engines in it to provide reliable, low carbon power for the Tube.
 
I think that the jetty is Primrose Pier, named after a haulage contractor who made use of it in the 1960s. It was remodelled by Groundwork in 1998, with reed bed habitats set up to the north and opened to the public, very much tidied up and with no pipes, a short distance to the south of Bay Wharf, it was originally used by the Molassine Meal Works, which made various animal feeds including 'Vims' dog biscuits from molasses and materials such as sphagnum moss and magnesium carbonate, and gave a distinctively unpleasant smell to the whole area. The works closed the year before I made this picture, though Tunnel Refineries next door kept up producing a rather similar unpleasant odour.
