Exploring London
August Walk: North Woolwich
This is a 2.5 mile level walk exploring the history of North Woolwich and its current regeneration. We will look at how a remote marsh became a gateway to the world, how it experienced economic boom, decline and revival. We discover why sites built for industry are now used for leisure, see houses built on shipyards and watch planes land on water. We will walk under the Thames and take a ferry to return to the Thames’s north bank.
