Cobblestones, Quaysides & Cloud-capped Towers… And so we come to the most extraordinary letter in London’s alphabet. First, the bass note: the river. Down here the Thames is broad-shouldered, easy and big. There’s a salt tang in the air. And gulls. And cat-o’-nine-tails winds. Haunted winds that whisper of tall ships and swollen sails and spices and silks and rum. And then make good on that promise when they Zephyr us round corners into a pungent past of centuries-old sugar warehouses and ships workshops and the Dockmaster’s House. So, yes, like the river, time bends here. And flows. Flows backward. And then, round other corners, ricochets into the fireworks of a futuristic London. Because this is Wall Street on Water – a place where cutting-edge, 21st-century power and energy are made visible and tangible.A place where this time-honoured city is re-inventing itself. Spectacularly. In short, if you like walks that have Surprise Me written all over them – well, you just turned up trumps.

DOCKLANDS WALK – THE PRACTICALS

The Docklands walk takes place at 10.30 am on the first Saturday of every month (except in November, December, January and February). Meet Chris or Judy or Stephanie just outside the main exit* of Canary Wharf Tube.  *N.B. the main Jubilee Line exit NOT the East exit.
