My wife and I met some friends in Eltham and had lunch with them and after a pleasant couple of hours we caught the No 286 bus to Greenwich from Eltham High Street to Greenwich (Cutty Sark).
Our bus pulled up immediately in front of a No 129 which was readying to depart. The service is provided by London General and was a double decker Wrightbus Gemini WVL356.

The bus left at 1544 and retraced the route of the No 286 past the National Maritime Museum
and the closed Greenwich library back to the Blackwall Tunnel Approach Road.
From there the bus heads under the flyover, turns left into Millennium East shopping and leisure centre and then on to the Millennium village.

The bus route then runs up to North Greenwich bus terminus and arrived here only 20 minutes after leaving Greenwich at 1605. This was definitely the shortest journey that I've done.
To get home from here it was the Jubilee line to Canada Water and then London Overground to West Croydon.
