Overview

 

 

Meet: Tower Hill station (at the top of the exit escalators) for a pleasant walk, mainly along the Thames Path, with a short stop at Canary Wharf for toilets and maybe a hot drink.

We finish at Island Gardens (DLR) station.

There are toilets at the start at the Wetherspoon's pub opposite Tower Hill station.
