About this Event


This walk visits many of the East London locations from the film The Long Good Friday, some of which are recognisable, some of which have changed a lot since the film was made. Rob will also talk about the recent history of Docklands that brought the changes about.

The walk ends at Canary Wharf

Here's a review of this walk

"Long Good Friday walk in London dock lands was excellent. The guide, Rob Smith, framed the walk around key scenes from the film but wove into it recent social and political history and the redevelopment of London Docklands. Although the area is one I know very well, the flow of the story told made for a very interesting walk."
