Here are a selection of photos from the arrival of the London Paralympic Torch Relay in Greenwich. The flame was carried, somewhat later than planned, along Creek Road, in to Cutty Sark Gardens and then down to the pier where it was taken on board Havengore.

With the Mayor of Greenwich following on board the Royal Nore, the torch was then taken over to Masthouse Pier accompanied by a small flotilla of ships.

The Metro centre’s Drag Race took place around the streets of Greenwich on Saturday night. Greenwich Mayor David Grant was on hand to see the drag queens take part in the annual event which raises money for the Metro centre in Norman Road.

Hugh Wright, METRO Head of Fundraising said:

We are so grateful to all of the participants, businesses and spectators for helping to make this year’s Metro Drag Race a huge success. We are especially thankful to the residents of Royal Hill and surrounding streets who kindly allowed the event to go ahead on their doorsteps – with many coming out to cheer on the runners and enjoy the entertainment. Sponsorship money is still coming in but we estimate that the event will raise £2.5k to support our work providing sexual health and HIV, mental health, community and youth services.

Daily Photo: 05/08/2012 – Woolwich Crossrail Station Box

August 5, 2012 By Rob Powell

These pictures are of a new station box that has been built at the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich. Developers Berkeley Homes built the box so that Crossrail can make use of it and install a station at the site, connecting Woolwich to the high speed link between East and West London. It’s hoped that an announcement to proceed with a station at Woolwich will be made soon.

Archaeologists found several old cannons at the site of the development.

New homes would be built above the station, and on land adjacent to it.
