Overview

The Yurt Cafe has toilets, lots of seating and it only takes card payments.  Please arrive by 10.45 at the very latest, though people tend to arrive earlier.

 

After coffee, at 11.00, we will walk around Limehouse Basin and then follow the Thames Path, turning off to go through Millwall Dock after 2 miles and Mudchute Farm (toilets). There is a drop-out option for the 277, D7 and 135 buses after about 1 mile, at Westferry Circus.  We pass other bus stops along the way, also Mudchute and Island Gardens DLR stations.  The walk finishes at Crossharbour DLR Station.
