Overview

An easy three-mile walk following the river to the Thames.  At the Old Thames Iron Works we will walk the last section of towpath to arrive at Trinity Buoy Wharf where we can view the confluence of the rivers (and London's only remaining lighthouse).  We will stop for refreshments at the excellent cafe and a toilet break before passing Orchard Place with its magnificent ghost signs from the Victorian era, then continuing via East India Dock (now a nature reserve) to East India station.  Should finish by about 14.30.
!!! No booking required, just turn up.
