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.

By the late 18th Century, Wapping made London one of the busiest ports in the world. The building of The London Docks transformed a small riverside village into one of the liveliest districts in the Capital. Wapping was a gateway to the British Empire, a commercial centre and a mix of cultural influences. Celebrated figures made their home here, like explorer and captain of the Endeavour, James Cook. A resident of Wapping in the 1750s, he later became the first European to master the east coast of Australia. Wapping was also home to artists and writers. Charles Dickens drew inspiration from the area during visits to his godfather in nearby Limehouse. Much of what he saw of life in the docks and at the riverside became famous scenes in his books like Oliver Twist and Great Expectations.

Synopsis of Exploring London Walks
SPELTHORNE U3AK2 “EXPLORING LONDON” WALK SYNOPSIS WALK 1 – PORTOBELLO MARKET, NOTTING HILL DISTANCE: 4 miles (with possible add on for a detour through Kensington Gardens) GETTING THERE AND BACK START: Ladbroke Grove on the Hammersmith and City Line Via Waterloo to Baker Street change to Hammersmith and City to Ladbroke Grove Or District Line from Richmond to Hammersmith and then Hammersmith and City Line to Ladbroke Grove FINISH: Notting Hill Gate or Queensway (Circle Line) to Bond Street – change to Jubilee to Waterloo ROUTE AND REFRESHMENTS The major problem on this walk is a dearth of Public Toilets, and no clear stopping place for Lunch. There is certainly no shortage of places to have Coffee or snacks, so you will have to make sure that you select a cafe that has Toilets available. The walk starts from Ladbroke Grove Station, and goes the short distance to Portobello Green where you can hopefully find Coffee+Toilet facilities. Portobello Market spreads for about 1 km going from the cheaper end to the more salubrious antique market at the top of the road. It is likely to be very crowded, and it will be much easier to have free time to wander along at your own pace, and meet at place, time suggested by the leader. Continuing to the “peak” of Notting Hill we reach the church of St. John’s which has toilets and a café (sadly only open mid week). After a downhill stretch the route continues and crosses over Holland Park Avenue before a short uphill climb to reach Campden Hill, a very select and salubrious part of Kensington where there is a reasonable pub.

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.
