Exploit <strong>the</strong> potential <strong>for</strong> a tourist and visitor economy.<br />

Visitors to ExCeL and <strong>the</strong> Siemens Pavilion will provide a critical mass of<br />

custom to support London’s flourishing business-tourism sector including<br />

hotels, restaurants, retail, and business-related leisure.<br />

We believe that <strong>the</strong>re is ample scope to develop a complementary tourist<br />

offer beyond <strong>the</strong> business market. We will develop new attractions<br />

including a cable car between <strong>the</strong> Greenwich Peninsula and <strong>the</strong> <strong>Royal</strong><br />

<strong>Docks</strong> and will establish critical links between <strong>the</strong> O2 Centre, <strong>the</strong> Cutty<br />

Sark at Greenwich and <strong>the</strong> Olympic Park to create a compelling tourist<br />

offer. We will tease out what’s good about <strong>the</strong> <strong>Royal</strong> <strong>Docks</strong> and build on<br />

<strong>the</strong> local offer.<br />

The area’s extensive waterfront and <strong>the</strong> Thames Barrier Park offer a<br />

unique opportunity to create London’s next new waterside leisure<br />

destination. We envisage a thriving evening and weekend economy that<br />

will establish <strong>the</strong> <strong>Royal</strong> <strong>Docks</strong> as a place that will appeal to Londoners<br />

and tourists alike.<br />

Movement around <strong>the</strong> <strong>Royal</strong> <strong>Docks</strong> will be improved by investment in footpaths, cycle routes and assets<br />
