London’s Canary Wharf, Docklands, and Greenwich Tour
Learn about the fascinating past of this London area which was the epicenter of trade for the largest empire in the history of mankind.
The London Docklands cover 9 square miles of riverfront along the Thames, including the Isle of Dogs in the borough of Tower Hamlets and the historic naval borough of Greenwich.
The West India Docks are three docks, built to import and export goods, and occasionally passengers, from and to the British West Indies. It was opened in 1802 if open you can visit the museum close by. The area of Canary Wharf has been redeveloped to become the financial center of London, famous for its glass and concrete buildings.
Visit Mudchute Park and Farm, the largest urban farm in Europe. A rather incongruous green area is so close to the skyscrapers of Canary Wharf! It is a fascinating Nature Reserve where you’ll learn all about biodiversity and also the ‘dig for Britain’ campaign of WW2.
Afterward, head under the Thames on the footpath connecting the Isle of Dogs to Greenwich. A quaint and architecturally beautiful borough of London with deep connections to its maritime past.
