Thames Historic Walk: Cannon St to Canary Wharf t=short.28
Distance: 5 miles or 8 km for those more metrically minded
Difficulty: 1 out of 10
Meet: Cannon St. Tube and Rail Station
Time: 18:30 – but if you miss our departure, you can certainly catch us up along the way…
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!

I think 5 met at the specified time and place and left rather promptly before even the walk poster (who was running late) had arrived....Three others joined this group at or near the Banker Pub with a further walker catching up near the Tower....Going around the Tower (as the front is still closed), the group became fragmented, so we took the opportunity to stop at the Town of Ramsgate for a tipple and to regroup where, yet another caught us up, making for n=10 in total...After our break, we carried on -- passing by the Prospect of Whitby and finding the Grapes too crowded for our group size....so on to the Pilgrim's Pizza in CW for a pleasant meal...A fun night in w=cool-dry-conditions.
