An urban winter walk along the north bank of the Thames past numerous wharves and also various riverside pubs (Captain Kidd, Prospect of Whitby and The Grapes all follow on from our lunch pub). Terrific views of the Thames across the water and also the business district as one comes into Canary Wharf. Also the Thames Clipper piers are numerous along the way. Lunch is under 1 1/2 miles from the start, and the post lunch walk is around 5 1/2 miles. There are drop out points after lunch at Wapping station or Canary Wharf. For those that make the whole walk there is a decent pub and also a coffee shop at Island Gardens at the end. Wrap up well as it is the end of January, and also wear very comfortable (cushioned?) shoes as all the walking is on stone/pavements.
