[Our Stroll to Wapping was somewhat curtailed by the rain so we did not finish the route. I have decided to change the route of the Rotherhithe Stroll to include the parts we missed.}
Tuesday 28th June – Rotherhithe ,Wapping & Shadwell Stroll
This walk will explore Rotherhithe looking at some of the beautiful, buildings in the area and some of the Industrial infrastructure.
We meet at in the Café on the first floor of Decathlon. We aim to leave at 10:45 so if you want coffee make sure you are there by 10:30. The toilet facilities are in the basement- take the lift from the ground floor.
The nearest station is Canada Water, from the station cross the road and walk past the Library and Decathlon is in front on the left.
We will walk through Canada Water and into Rotherhithe ,past the entrance to the Rotherhithe Tunnel and through the Kings Stairs Gardens gardens down to the river. Following the river westwards until we reach St Johns Church we divert to Rotherhithe Station on the Overground. We then travel one stop to Wapping and re-join the route of our aborted Stroll to Shadwell Basin, St Georges in the East and Cable Street. We finish at Shadwell Station for either the Overground towards Canada Waters and New Cross or the DLR towards Lewisham. We are not quite sure of the lunch arrangements yet but it is likely to be either the Mayflower or the Prospect of Whitby watch out for Photo News for the final arrangements and to book your lunch.
SUMMER OUTING
We normally go to the seaside at some point during the summer, however with the current travel chaos it seems a bit pointless to make any firm arrangements.
We are also staying in touch by our Facebook group " Senior Snappers" and through our Flickr site. Photographs can be seen at www.flickr.com/photos/u3aselondon.
If you would like to join Senior Snappers and to receive PhotoNews to keep up with the latest News about both of our Photography Groups and to see a showcase of members topical photographs please send an email quoting your u3a membership number to Roger Mead rogermead2021@gmail.com
