Canary Wharf to Greenwich: A Walk Through London's Contrasts
Details
Hi lovely people! 👋
Join us for a relaxed walk exploring one of London's most interesting contrasts — from the modern skyscrapers of Canary Wharf to the historic streets of Greenwich 🌿
2:00pm - We'll begin beneath the famous public clocks of Canary Wharf before making our way through the quieter residential side of the Isle of Dogs.
We will start the walk at 2:15, so please make sure to arrive before that.
By 2:50pm ish - Along the route we'll pass and stop by Mudchute Farm, one of Europe's largest urban farms, where city life and countryside unexpectedly meet. We will spend there arund 30-40 minutes depending how the group memebers are feeling. There is also a cafe where you will be able to rest and grab something.
👣 From there, we'll continue towards Greenwich via the historic Greenwich Foot Tunnel — a unique chance to walk beneath the River Thames and emerge on the other side of London's maritime district.
🥧 We'll make a stop at Goddards at Greenwich, a local favourite known for its traditional pie, mash and liquor.
🍻☕ For those who would like to stay longer, we'll finish by the riverside at Trafalgar Tavern, where we can enjoy a drink, coffee, or simply watch the boats go by.
This will be an easy-paced social walk with plenty of opportunities to chat, take photos and enjoy a different side of London.
