Overview

We will meet at Canning Town Station. Take the Bow Creek exit.

The walk will take us to art galleries, lighthouses and a part of the creek where all your dreams will fade and die. From here we will cross to the Isle of Dogs and finish up at Canary Wharf.

Please dress appropriately for the weather and bring a picnic.

The walk will finish around 3 pm.
