  • 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.

  • 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.

  • London Walk 4: London Bridge to Canary Wharf Via Wapping 1
    London Walk 4: London Bridge to Canary Wharf via Wapping 1 London Bridge Station. The oldest station in London opened in 1830 by the London & Blackwall Railway which was 3.5 miles long. Pre-dated Euston by 7 months and is soon to be London's newest station as part of the £6bn Thameslink programme. 2 The Shard, the tallest building in the UK at 309m/1016', but only the 4th tallest in Europe and 87th tallest in the world. Cost £435m to build and owned by the State of Qatar. Built by Renzo Piano - the style is called "Neo- Futurism". The 828-metre (2,717 ft) tall Burj Khalifa in Dubai has been the tallest building in the world since 2008. The Burj Khalifa has been classified as Megatall. 3 The Upper Pool. After the Elizabethan voyages of discovery there was a boom in shipping in London and many wharves and warehouses were built to cater for the trade. However due to increasing smuggling and crime, Queen Elizabeth specified 20 quays on the north bank to be designated “Legal Quays” over which all cargo had to be discharged and cleared by Customs who collected duty. Over the next century this monopoly became abused and many traders and shipping men complained of extortion pleading for more quays to be opened. By contrast at this time, Bristol had 4000’ of quays compared with London’s 1400’ Crime was rife with ships being raided and cargos sold before they reached the legal quays and by 1797 it was estimated that over £500,000 of cargo was being stolen annually.
