Today a gentle stroll along the river then over Tower Bridge before walking along the Thames Path through Wapping and on to Canary Wharf. It would be rude not to stop at a few old haunts along the way!! The Captain Kidd for a drink and a bite to eat, then our old local the Barley Mow, now Gordon Ramsey's The Narrow, for a pint!
Continuing along the Thames Path to Canary Wharf, wow, it has changed so much! We just lost ourselves in the streets and malls before grabbing the DLR from West India Quay down to Crossharbour before heading back via DLR to Tower Gateway, changing at our old stop, Limehouse on the way.
A wander back through St Katherines Docks across Tower Bridge and back to our hotel via a curry shop for our first English curry since 2005!!

Nico, Brad and Cale outside one of the pubs we visited in the past, The Prospect of Whitby. It is allegedly the oldest pub on the Thames at around 500 years old!

Refreshments at The Captain Kidd pub in Wapping.
Nico and Cale by the Thames with Canary Wharf behind, you can also just see Cascade Towers to the right - its very small compared to the other buildings.
