Great views over the Thames sweeping round the Isle of Dogs, with Canary Wharf in the background and historic Queen's House and the Old Royal Naval College below in the foreground.
Stand with your back to the statue of General Wolfe, victor of Quebec (just don't tell the French - Claudine knows already as I keep reminding her)

Intrigue the kids by suggesting a walk underneath the River Thames. There's the added reward of great views of Cutty Sark and The Old Naval College from the other side of the river.

Also, for would be train drivers of all ages, as it's a driverless train, you can often get a seat in the front and pretend. For little boys and girls of all ages.
