Kev's not Ken's Walks!

Hi all, cost, & info below, please join everyone for a fun, scenic, interesting linear 2.5 mile or 5.5 mile circular walk

There is almost a secret giant Peninsula that lies below Canary Wharf, so rare that most Londoners have never been there. Underneath Canary Whaft there is the beautiful Mudchute Farm, the largest urban farm in Europe where we will see up close alpacas, donkeys, miniature horses & much more (stop for a drink and cake if cafe open). Much more walk info further below..

Please note: Only 5.5 mile walk contains SS Britain docks, River Thames walk and WW2 memorial. 2.5 mile is a linear walk (ends about 3.30pm) ending at Island Gardens Station.

See where Isambard Kingdom Brunel famous SS Great Eastern set sail, the launching docks are amazingly still there since Victorian times!
We will see other amazing hidden gems, visit these giant docks which were once home to the East & West India companies. Britain was the most powerful nation on Earth and the docks were part of this colossal network

We will walk above a train station where there are giant rooftop gardens, with exotic trees and species around the World

There are still giant anti-aircraft World War 2 guns in place from the attack of the Luftwaffe, view stunning Greenwich from the other side looking at the Maritime Museum & the Cutty Sark, visit the practically unknown area of Isle of Dogs & Island Gardens and also we have an amazing walk along the River Thames back to Canary Whaft.

£10 cash/card payment by simply turning up on the day

Please meet upstairs at the top of the giant escalators on the Jubilee Line, the meeting area is outside the very front of Canary Wharf Station. This is located next to the Alchemist Pub and the bike racks in front of the station where the water is. If coming off the Jubilee Line underground train please follow the signage for Jubilee Plaza, DLR and Elizabeth Line

The Isle of Dogs was marsh, being several feet below water at high tide, In 1660 the river started to break through the peninsula.

The name "Mudchute" derives from it being the former dumping ground for mud dredged from the Millwall Docks in the 1800's. In the 1970's the land was down for redevelopment but the locals fought hard & we are extremely lucky to have almost a countryside rural setting at Mudchute.
Canary Whaft Station Toilets are in the Jubilee Place Mall, turn left at ‘Cos’ walk along the main corridor, turn left before the escalator, where there is an alcove. It is where the ‘Photo Me’ Booth is situated.

ABOUT OUR SECRET LONDON WALKS
It is a 15-year fascinating journey together to explore the whole of beautiful, enchanting Secret London. The only walking group in the World offering this unique experience!
