Evening Walk - Thames Path along the Northbank through The City, Wapping, Shadwell, Ratcliffe and Limehouse: Cannon Street to Canary Wharf

Length : 7.0 km  
Height Gain: negligible 
 
Meet 18.30 hours prompt outside The Banker pub (Fuller’s) on the Thames Path, 200 metres from Cannon Street Station.  
Finish: Canary Wharf Clipper Pier or Canary Wharf Stations (Jubilee or Elizabeth Lines, Zone 2).
 
“An easy amble following the Thames Path between Cannon Street and Canary Wharf, passing through historic Wapping. Along the way, the route passes some historic pubs – two of which claim to be the oldest riverside pub in London – you decide which has the best claim. Instructions are hardly required for this route – simply keep the river to your right – though occasionally the Thames Path leaves the riverside...” Note: some stretches of the riverside path are private and are closed off in the evening and you will have to follow the road. Also, there is still a diversion in place at the Tideway site some way through the route.
 
Pubs passed en route: The Town of Ramsgate (a Freehouse), Captain Kidd (Sam Smith’s), The Prospect of Whitby (Greene King), The Grapes (owned by Sir Ian McKellen amongst others). Many food and drink options in Canary Wharf.
