Evening Walk: Thames Historic Walk: Cannon St (Banker Pub) to Canary Wharf t=short.28
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…
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 line Station.
More information and the instructions can be
found here.
Enjoy the walk!

The Banker Pub is extremely busy. I'm waiting on Hanseatic Walk a few metres along the route.
City life certainly seems to be in full swing -- so it seemed at the Banker Pub anyway where eight managed to assemble among the throngs enjoying bevies outside on a w=sunny-spring-evening....After a 5 minute grace, we set off with river to our right and picked-up number n=9 waiting a bit further along away from the crowd. The route was pleasant and uneventful with the setting sun. We stopped briefly outside the Town of Ramsgate and examined the steps down to the shackles where poor soles were left for 3 tides....On to the Prospect of Whitby where we did stop for a tipple on their large Thameside deck. Once rehydrated we set off for the final stretch....we decided to by-pass the Grapes and headed into CW for post walk food and beverage....Seven opted for a Pilgrim's Pizza -- outdoors under a heater proved warm enough for all...though the "Pilgrim's wine" was found wanting...after some commentary...improved vintage was provided....During the meal we noted the next door Munich Cricket Club looked quite promising for future outings ending in CW....A fun night out!
