Greenwich Riverside
Saturday 19th October
!!NEW RENDEZVOUS POINT!! Meet 1115 for an 1130 departure outside CUTTY SARK for MARITIME GREENWICH DLR - 9 minutes walk from Greenwich rail station (links to London Bridge). DLR IS PART CLOSED
Please check your email :))
This walk into London's maritime history starts in dramatic fashion! We will dive deep under the Thames via a Victorian foot tunnel to emerge in glorious Royal Greenwich, once home to a Tudor Palace beloved by both Henry VIII and Elizabeth. We will see the country's last surviving tea clipper - the elegant Cutty Sark, on our way to the impressive twin-domed Naval College, designed by Wren, and enjoy the riverside views from its grounds. Walking east through charming Georgian lanes we will hear about Nelson's last journey home here in a barrel of brandy before enjoying ending up at The Cutty Sark, one of London's most historic and charming pubs (not compulsory!).
