At a glance

Affected location: Blackwall Tunnel

Illustrative image: Heading down Greenwich High Road towards Greenwich DLR Station. This building was West Greenwich Library. It is next to the former Greenwich Town Hall (Meridian House). I did see East Greenwich Library from the bus, but as we were not going to go around that area, I didn't take the other library (although saw it two or three times from the bus). West Greenwich Library is Grade II listed. <a href=" http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-200384-west-greenwich-library-greater-london-au " rel — Elliott Brown from Birmingham, United Kingdom/Wikimedia Commons, CC BY 2.0
