  • Pepys Greenwich Walk
    Samuel Pepys’ Walk through the eastern City of London and Greenwich Distance = 5 miles (8 km) Estimated duration = 3 – 4 hours not including the river trip to Greenwich Nearest underground stations: This is planned to start from the Monument underground station, but could be joined at several other places including Aldgate or Tower Hill underground stations. You can do this Walk on any day of the week, but my recommendation would be to do the first part on a Wednesday or a Thursday because there may be free lunchtime classical recitals in one of the churches that are on the route. The quietest time would be at the weekend because the main part of this Walk takes place in the heart of the business district of London, which is almost empty at that time. However this does mean that many places will be closed including ironically the churches as well as most of the pubs and Seething Lane Garden. It’s a good idea to buy a one-day bus pass or travel card if you don’t already have one, so that you needn’t walk the whole route but can jump on and off any bus going in your direction. This is based around the Pepys Diary website at www.pepysdiary.com and your photographs could be added to the Pepys group collection here: www.flickr.com/groups/pepysdiary. And if you aren't in London at present, perhaps you'd like to attempt a "virtual tour" through the hyperlinks, or alternatively explore London via google streetview, the various BBC London webcams or these ones, which are much more comprehensive.

Interestingly, the building sits in between the barber shop owned by Sweeney Todd and the pie shop owned by his mistress Mrs Lovett — a grizzly detail for an otherwise resplendent London pub. The Commercial Tavern seems occasionally to have forgotten its opening hours, has a pool table in awful nick and serves quite piercingly dreadful cocktails upstairs — but to its regulars, it is magnificent. Parts of this loveable boozer might be over years old, but the pub still has so much to offer visitors in People laugh and dance and sing until the light slips away and the Angel locks its doors.

  • London's Historical Docks – the Dark Side
    LONDON’S HISTORICAL DOCKS – THE DARK SIDE A WALK AROUND WAPPING & THE OLD LONDON DOCKS AN INTRODUCTION TO LONDON WALKS Moreland lies between two of many sets of protected docks built from the beginning of the 19th century to relieve theft and delays in unloading at the riverside wharves and Pool of London. The building of St Katharine Dock and the London Docks transformed these areas, which were to be transformed again when the docks closed down in the late 1960s. On this walk we’ll see how both areas developed very differently following closure, but how vestiges and traces of their previous lives still remain from centuries ago. 2 miles (6,000 steps) round trip to Moretown / 30 mins Please adhere to current government guidelines for COVID-19 when exploring the different locations of the tour.
