Canary Wharf to Greenwich via under the Thames, 4 miles

Details

  • We will meet at the Jubilee Plaza outside the Canary Wharf tube station, to your left as you exit. Aim for the West exit following the DLR signs. Don't worry if you end up in Upper Bank Street. Just turn right into the Jubilee Park and you will see the group at the other end.
  • We will then make our way via the Jubilee Park and Blackwall Basin to see the Traffic Light Tree sculpture. Then we will carry on via South dock, Millwall inner dock, Clippers quay and Millwall park. We will then cross the Thames via the Greenwich foot tunnel. This walk is not suitable for people who are not comfortable with confined spaces.
  • We will emerge from the tunnel by the Cutty Sark. She was built on the River Leven, Dumbarton, Scotland in 1869 for the Jock Willis Shipping Line, she was one of the last tea clippers to be built and one of the fastest, coming at the end of a long period of design development for this type of vessel, which halted as steamships took over their routes.
  • We will then pass by the Old Royal Naval College, see the Chapel of St Peter and St Paul and finish our walk by the Maritime Museum (free entry). Cutty Sark DLR Station is 5mins away. The Greenwich Observatory is 10mins away.

Optional drinks/lunch at the local pub at the end of the walk.

The walk is free for members who have subscribed for an annual membership. For other members the fee is £5 cash/card on arrival to contribute towards the organiser's meetup fees and costs.

The annual pass option is £15 payable by cash/card on the day. This will provide access to at least 30 walks per year (members are welcome to bring a guest to each event).

All walks are free for the NHS staff (also welcome to bring a guest).

What to bring:
Comfortable footwear
Water
Photo-taking gadgets and chargers
An umbrella just in case (it's London after all)

'No Show' Policy: If the member replied 'yes' but did not attend the event, did not update the RSVP and did not inform the organiser on 3 occasions – this triggers an automatic removal from the group. That's once for events with a waiting list.
