		Greenwich's main function todav is to supplement the output of the Lots Road, Chelsea, power station at times of peak demand and to provide a standby facility.

		The history of Greenwich and of the lives of the people of Greenwich is inextricably bound to the river and the movement of people and goods up and down and across the river.

	Goldsmiths College London - Greenwich MM - MEX & The Dome
		Greenwich Council's latest planning brief for the entire Peninsula published on 26/11/01 states clearly that the retention of the Dome as an 'iconic structure' is paramount to the on-going redevelopment of the Peninsula.

		Greenwich Council was investigating in more detail how to attract the maximum benefit for local people, in the lead up to, during and and after the Exhibition.

	Goldsmiths MM - Cutty Sark DLR Station
		The extension to Lewisham runs from just before the 'old' Mudchute station, on the DLR southern line to new Mudchute and Island Gardens stations before burrowing under the Thames to the west of the existing Greenwich Foot Tunnel and the Cutty Sark dry-dock, emerging just before an interchange at the existing Greenwich Connex South-East station.
