Overview

PLACES ON OUR WALKS MUST BE BOOKED IN ADVANCE.

Much of the original Docks in London have now gone, but traces can still be found. This walk takes in some of these now missing Docks along with some of the still exciting Docks. We take the Docklands Light Railway to Canary Wharf, then jump on a ferry ( £4.50 contact less payment) to the remains of the Surrey Docks. Finishing at St Katherine Docks after crossing Tower Bridge.
