Hi,

I have a suggested route:

This is taking parts from the walk I posted earlier, it is slimmed down.

You'll notice I've identified a few places where you can access the Thames shoreline, Tower Hamlets has a number of access points. The idea is that if we visit on a day when it is low tide, we have an opportunity to take some phots from a different perspective of the River Thames, foreshore and buildings. Looking at the dates I posted and tide times, Friday 13th August has low tide at 12:19PM & Monday 16th August has low tide at 1:48PM..

If this is of interest, I suggest either of those dates.
I'm note sure why my Google Maps shows so many bars and pub, honest.

To get to Wappping, take the train to London Bridge, Jubilee line to Canada Water, then the overground for 2 stops to Wapping. The trip can end at Limehouse DLR, if the miles have added up or Westferry DLR. You can take the DLR to Lewisham or get to Canary Wharf DLR/Jubilee line back to London Bridge.

What are your thoughts?

There will be another proposed walk posted shortly in this forum topic, http://orpington-photographic-society-forum.2329802.n4.nabble.com/Summer-and-Autumn-2021-Outings-tp7738.html
