WALKING

This is a monthly event

If you appreciate the wonderful Surrey countryside that we are so fortunate to live in, and fancy a leisurely walk of approx. 4 miles in great company, then here’s an opportunity not to miss.

Come alone or join us with your wife/partner/dog/guitar/binoculars/sun cream. No matter how much of Surrey you’ve explored, you will discover more on our walks.

And there’s a bonus – At the end of the walk we enjoy a pub lunch and natter.

Probus Walk - Canning Town to East India Dock - Thursday 12th November

Dear all

This month’s walk will take place on Thursday 12th November. We will meet under the clock at Waterloo at 10:45am

This walk will be the same as a walk we did last year. Several people were unable to come along last time and asked that the walk be revisited.

We will start by catching the Jubilee Line from Waterloo to North Greenwich and then crossover the Thames on the Cable Car to Canning Town. Thence we will walk to Trinity Buoy Wharf and onward to Blackwall and East India Dock. We will then travel by Docklands Light Railway to Shadwell. In all of these places events of great, even global, importance took place but wartime bombing and other developments have almost (but not totally) removed all vestiges of the history. This is history which should be remembered. Lunch will be at the Prospect of Whitby, arguably the most famous pub in the East End.

We will return via the Thames Tunnel, the first under water tunnel in the world and return to Waterloo via the Jubilee Line from Canada Water.

You are welcome to invite family and friends.

Please let Peter Stevenson know if you would like join the walk.
