But for reference the above collection of terrorist targets were taken where the arrow points on this map. That is where the riverside path (not shown) leading from the Woolwich Ferry Pier ends. At that point you have to make you way through the somewhat windy estate to the main road, then cut through the Thames Barrier car park to rejoin the river on the west side of the Barrier.
It is also directly opposite the Tate & Lyle refinery, and with a long enough lens a good-ish place to spot planes taking off and landing from London City Airport that is behind it. Although there will probably not be be many of those on a Sunday evening.
You can either catch the train to Maze Hill station (on the map) or bus routes 177 and 180 towards Thamesmead run along the main road from Greenwich. Or you could get off either the train or bus at Charlton if you want to approach the barrier from the west.

The main reasons I was thinking of using the DLR to get to the barrier from the north side was because there is the Thames Barrier Park as well. Also, a short walk to the north brings you to the Royal Victoria Dock which seems to have potential. There's also the old Millennium Mills building, although I'm not sure what kind of access you can get to it.
I guess either plan would work out pretty well though and I'm happy to go along with whatever the majority want to do.
Well, Kerso came through for me! The 35L arrived today, but unfortunately I'm stuck at work until 7 tonight so I have to wait a few more hours until I can have a play around with it. Damn, I hate work sometimes.
