Evening Walk - Greenwich to Canary Wharf via Millwall [New Evening Walk]

Length : 5.0 km Height Gain: negligible

Take the 18.32 Slade Green train from Cannon Street to Greenwich (calls London Bridge 18.37 and Deptford 18.43), arrives 18.45.  

You can also get to Greenwich by DLR from Bank via Canary Wharf.

 

This is the start of SWC Short Walk 42 Greenwich to Woolwich, passing Cutty Sark DLR Station (which is closed for refurbishment though), combined with the end of SWC 215 Blackheath – Canary Wharf. 

From the Cutty Sark, we walk through the 370m long Greenwich foot tunnel onto the Isle of Dogs and turn left along the Thames Path through Millwall with views of Greenwich, Deptford and Rotherhithe, to finish at Canary Wharf (Jubilee and Elizabeth Lines, DLR).

 

Note 1: the start of the walk is not outside the main station entrance but down some steps from the rear end of the platform from London, as described in SWC Short Walk 42. 

Note 2: both lifts in the foot tunnel are currently out of service, but the North one (back to street level) ought to be back in working order by the time of the walk. Else it will be 87 steps = ca. 20m height gain!

 

Refreshments:  

The Lord Nelson and The Ferry House in Island Gardens, just after the foot tunnel.  

Numerous options in Canary Wharf.
