LONDON WALK: CANAL and THAMES WATERWAYS.

MILE END to THE ROYAL COURTS OF JUSTICE on THE STRAND.

GRAND UNION CANAL, THAMES RIVER and WAPPING CANAL WALK with GREAT VIEWS and interesting features followed by PUB SOCIALISING with CHEAP FOOD and DRINKS.

Enjoy London! Get out and see your City in the company of great friends! Join us for a Saturday afternoon stroll (followed by socialising in the pub). Walking is one of life's great social activities.

WALK START POINT: Mile End Tube Station (Central Line). Look for Ken with the Kens Events/Meetup Flag/Badge on the opposite side of the main road from the station.

WALK ROUTE: From Mile EndTube Station (Central Line), along the Grand Union Canal and then the North Bank of the Thames to Shadwell Basin, where we will join the Wapping Canal to St Katharines Dock, then continuing past St.Pauls Cathedral and the Millenium Footbridge, Inner and MiddleTemple before finishing at a large pub in Chancery Lane.

WALK DISTANCE: Approx 5 miles.

WALK END POINT: Close to Charing Cross and Chancery Lane Stations at The Knights Templar Pub.

STOP OUT POINT: Our route crosses several London bus routes

The Knights Templar Pub:
Our walk finishes at the Knight's Templar pub (see photo). The pub was originally the Union Bank of London, and more recently Nat West Bank. The pub takes it name from an ancient order of warrior monks and the 'Templar Knights' - a medieval order of warrior knights associated with the Chancery Lane and Middle Temple area.

Social Event:
Our walks are social walks, where the emphasis is on meeting new people, enjoying nature, healthy exercise, and fresh air. Our walks are not interrupted with running commentaries or historical lectures, although occasionally features of significance may be pointed out. As such our walks will be continuous with few stops and it is your responsibilty to keep walkers ahead in view and to follow the direction of the walk. WE ALWAYS END THE WALK AT A PUB WHERE THE SOCIALISING CAN CONTINUE.

RISKS for all walks: Please dress appropriately for weather conditions and carry a bottle of water and necessary medication. You need to be moderately fit for this walk and be able to walk for four miles without a break. In these walks we use; pavements, cross busy roads, public parkland, towpaths alongside water, other public paths, rights of way, bridlepaths, country lanes and other established paths and tracks through woodland, bush and countryside. Please only wear good sturdy shoes, preferably walking boots and take care as surfaces may be uneven, tree roots may protrude, there may be low overhanging branches and some paths are also used by joggers and cyclists and sometimes cars (country lanes). Some tracks may be muddy and slippery. On occasion wild,domestic and farm animals may also encountered. If you require insurance for these walks then you must arrange this yourself.
