Boat trip & Walk: Embankment to North Greenwich 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️

Join us for a sociable boat trip and walk in London, starting at Embankment and ending at North Greenwich.

Meet Thomas (the man wearing the brown hat in the photo) or Mark (who will be wearing an orange scarf) at the riverside exit to Embankment Tube station between 10am and 10:15am. We will walk down to Embankment Pier and buy our own tickets for the Uber Boats (formerly known as Thames Clippers) eastbound single journey to Woolwich Royal Arsenal Pier. The ticket needs to cover the Central & East zones. It costs £10.80 Oyster/Online/App or £15.40 if you buy at the pier's ticket office.

The boat is scheduled to leave Embankment pier at 10:40am and to arrive at Woolwich Royal Arsenal pier at 11:40am. If you wish to join the boat at another pier you can meet us on the boat or when we arrive at Woolwich Royal Arsenal, but please make a note below.

After arriving at Woolwich Royal Arsenal we will walk along the Thames Path towards the Thames Barrier and then towards the O2 Arena. This is a walk of about 6 miles so should last about 2h30 at an average pace.

You may want to bring some snack food with you to eat on the boat or during the walk, as we will not arrive there until after 2pm and there may not be suitable stopping points for hot food or drinks along the route.

After arriving you can join others for a meal or drink (or even a film) at the O2, or you can choose to return straight home from North Greenwich (Jubilee line), or if you want a longer walk you can continue walking along the Thames Path towards the Old Royal Naval College and return home from Greenwich.

There is no meetup charge for this event - just pay for your own travel and food. There are different ways you can pay for the boat trip (eg: ticket office, using credit on your Oystercard, Uber app) - see: https://www.thamesclippers.com/plan-your-journey/ticket-information

If you decide not to come on the walk after putting your name down for it please change your reply.
