We are the Chelmer & Blackwater Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Using the Greenwich Foot Tunnel (South lift out of order) the walk goes through the Royal Naval College and Greenwich Park then climbs up to Point Hill for views across London before returning to Greenwich Park for more views of London. After crossing the Park there is some urban walking to reach Charlton House for lunch. There are two cafes and a pub (no food served but you are welcome to eat your own lunch there). The walk continues through Charlton Park, descends through the Maryon Parks to the Thames Barrier and then along the Thames Path to North Greenwich.
Meet outside Island Gardens DLR Station at 10:30 Example travel from Chelmsford: it will be the 9.24 train to Stratford and then DLR to Island Gardens Station. (Updated ticket suggestion: it's slightly cheaper to buy a through ticket - outward to Island Gardens and return from North Greenwich - with a Railcard should be £16.65). NB: NOT FOR THIS WALK, but advance notice: from Sunday 14 December 2025 "Pay-as-you-go Contactless" will start from 50 extra stations (including many on Greater Anglia lines) but it WILL NOT apply discounts (e.g. Senior Railcard) and thus still need to buy tickets at the station or online (& Oyster Cards will not be valid for stations outside London, even if barriers let you through) https://www.greateranglia.co.uk/contactless for map of Essex stations
