The Walks

The walks, run by Canal & River Trust, will be led by walk leaders who are also full of interesting information about the local area. The short circular walk will start and finish at the Entrance to Museum London Docklands, No. 1 Warehouse, West India Quay, London E14 4AL. We will be looking at the history of the Docklands and their role in the transatlantic slave trade.

The Walk Leader is a qualified historian with a huge amount of knowledge and experience.

Toilets are available at the beginning and end of the walk in the Museum of London Docklands. We also encourage you to look around and visit the free exhibitions.

The great thing about walking is that you do not need any fancy equipment. Please just wear comfortable shoes and bring a jacket if raining.
