    Hiking

    The O2 Arena sits under the Millenium Dome, built to house an the Millennium Experience, a year long celebration of the year 2000. It was turned into a live music and sports venue when the exhibition closed. It is sometimes known simply as 'The Dome'. You can climb over the top of the dome, known as 'Up at the O2' and take in unparalleled views of the London skyline and beyond.

    Huge arena, well visible from afar across the Thames from the riverside walks. If you cross the river by the cable car you get a good impression of the roof construction.

    Hiking

    When normality has returned, it is a great experience for all tourists or locals. A slightly queasy feeling at first. but which settles relatively quickly after the first steps. It is actually very hard-wearing and stable. The view is terrific and it's a big highlight to sip a skit up there and enjoy this moment. You don't do it every day ;-)

    Embark on an easy urban hike along Section 6 of the Jubilee Greenway Trail, a pleasant 4.1-mile (6.5 km) route that offers continuous views of the River Thames. You'll experience a blend of modern and industrial landscapes as you hike, with a minimal elevation gain of just 70 feet (21 metres). This section is designed to take about 1 hour and 40 minutes to complete at a steady pace. Keep an eye out for iconic structures like the impressive Thames Barrier and the distinctive O2 Arena, which punctuate the riverside scenery.

    Planning your visit to the Jubilee Greenway Trail (Section 6) is straightforward, as the route is highly accessible by public transport. You can easily reach the starting point near Woolwich station, and the trail concludes conveniently at Greenwich Pier. Consider using options like the Woolwich Foot Tunnel or local ferries to connect with the route. There are no specific permits or fees required to enjoy this hike, making it an easy choice for a spontaneous outing.

    This section of the Jubilee Greenway offers more than just riverside views; it also features unique cultural elements. As you hike, you will encounter distinctive art installations, such as "Quantum Cloud by Antony Gormley" located near North Greenwich Pier. These artistic additions provide a cultural dimension to your walk, blending seamlessly with the urban and industrial backdrop of the Thames.
