yay, thames path!
hehe...i had a great afternoon. I got on my bike and cycled the length of my guidebooks 'Thames Path'. It took me from Deptford, along the Thames, through the beautiful Rotherhithe to Tower Bridge, over Tower Bridge (which opened!)
then through wapping, Shadwell, Canary Wharf, Isle of Dogs then under the Thames into Greenwich.It took me about 2.5 hours and was SO cool. The route is so beutiful at points with parks and the river and millionaire flats over looking the water with decking and chairs and flowers and things. There's loads of apartments that have the overhead walkways and cobble streets giving a flavour of London's merchantile past and old industrialisation.
Continuous changing perspectives of the beauty of the meandering river, the hustle and bustle of city life, wealthy flats and people with stories to tell. Green park land filled with sunbathers and darting kids and the looming scapes of canary Warf with it's waterside bars and restaurants.
All finished off with an icecream in the wonderful Greenwich!Any London bloggers fancy joining me sometime?
