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!

n=6 overcame travel disruption and met at the appointed place at the appointed time on a w=cloudy-but-mild evening. We set off eastward along the Thames....had to divert through St. Katherine's Dock -- as the riverside path by the Tower was closed...the walk author (me) has some work to do on the instructions to recommend the best route through....
On we went....passing the Town of Ramsgate.....rehydrating at the Prospect of Whitby. We tried to eat at the Grapes -- but it was busy...so carried along to CW and the always dependable Pilgrims Pizza....
