Wednesday Evening: One (or more) for the Road on a Historic Thames Journey
Distance: 5 miles or 8 km for those more metrically minded
Difficulty: 1 out of 10
Meet: The Banker Pub – 200 meters from Cannon St. Tube and Rail Station (on the Thames)
Time: 18:30 – but if you miss our departure, you can certainly catch us up along the way…
Apologies for picking a night when there may be both a train and tube strike….but it was the only evening this week, I could make…..Both the start and finish of this walk are accessible by the DLR (via Bank) and the Elizabeth Line (via Liverpool St) which should hopefully make transportation a little easier…..
This is a relaxed outing along the Thames that hardly requires any instructions, aside from, keep the river on your right. The route basically follows the Thames Path from Cannon St. Station to Canary Wharf Pier, passing through historic Wapping. We will pass three historic hostelries – the Town of Ramsgate, the Prospect of Whitby and the Grapes. At Canary Wharf Pier, you can catch a Thames Clipper back to central London or meander through the buildings to the DLR/Jubilee/Elizabeth line Stations.
More information and the instructions can be found here.
Enjoy the walk!
