We are doing this fascinating walk through Rotherhithe in reverse because Southwark Park closes at dusk at this time of year.....The route will initially follow the Thames before turning inland exploring various interesting features of Rotherhithe, including historic docklands and Stave Hill, one of the finest low high points in SE London!
More information about the walk route can be found here.
Enjoy the walk!

The constant rain of the day only stopped about 15 minutes before the start of the walk, maybe that is why only n=3 turned up for it? We proceeded at a fair pace as 1 of us had a ticket for a concert and wasn't going to linger for drinks or other stops en route. The moon was kind of out, fighting to be seen through the last of the cloud remnants drifting across, views were good and crystal clear, with all dust having been thoroughly washed out of the air.
To Stave Hill then, and as much as one can be critical of the boom in high rises going up everywhere in London, on a clear evening with all the lights on, it is a magnificent sight from any highpoint such as Stave Hill.
At Greenland Dock, 2 then stopped at The Moby Dick (Fuller's) for a meal before walking on to Surrey Docks (aka Quays) while the concert goer marched on immediately. w=dry-after-a-wet-day
