What to expect The best views of London are from the river, soak them all in!
But the railways gradually took the cargoes from all but a few of the rivers and canals, and the advent of motorised road haulage finally finished off the last of them. From the middle of the 20th century, the once bustling river Thames became quieter and emptier than it had been for two thousand years.
Meanwhile the population of Greater London declined steadily until in the s and s it fell below seven million — a level not seen since the end of the 19th century. It seemed that London had turned its back on the river. But things began to change as the millennium arrived. The Millennium Dome, now The O2, was built on the Greenwich peninsula and efforts began to provide transport between the massive new venue and central London.
Meanwhile traffic congestion and environmental considerations ashore have seen the river return to use for the hauling of heavy loads. The redevelopment of Battersea Power Station, and the associated work on the Thames Tideway super sewer and the Northern Line Extension, has seen extensive use of barges to move excavated material, resulting in significant carbon emissions savings and removing the need for hundreds of journeys by heavy lorries through densely populated neighbourhoods.
The new, growing London will surely need all the new transport it can get through schemes like the Northern Line Extension. But more and more, especially at riverside locations like Battersea Power Station, the river will also play a significant role in getting people where they want to go: just as it did for so many centuries in the past.
