The only way to cross the river that far east. Nice views of the industrial part of the city.
The alternative way to cross the river is to take the foot tunnel at Greenwich.
Make sure you check the time for the ferry. At the time of this writing, it's free.

You can take the free ferry, but it's frequently not operating, or using only one boat... the foot tunnel is quicker, also free and well travelled.
