Not sure if anyone's aware of this, but a cable car is currently being constructed across the Thames.
It will start in Royal Victoria Dock (50 metres from our apartment
) and finish just east of the Dome/O2.
Here's a computer simulation of it.
I've been taking some photos at various stages of the build.
Here are a few of them.

The actual structure will be built in the water.
Those concrete posts you can see are in about 10 metres if water and a further 10 metres into the ground to the bedrock.
The white framework being built just to the left, is a new glass pavilion, shaped like a crystal.
This is what it will look like when it's completed.

You can also see a render of it in the cable car video.
