London Docklands Historic Walk and a drink at the Mayflower pub!

Have a historic walk along Thames riverfront with Julia and Valerie! We are a pair of friends who decided to launch their own guided walk of Rotherhithe after moving to the area and becoming fascinated with its history. We are keen to share our findings about this non-mainstream yet wonderful London area with you! In the last 50 years London Docklands has seen dramatic changes and harmoniously blended the past and present together.

We'll have an imaginary journey to the times of prosperity and decline of the Port of London – former world’s largest port! We'll learn what this area of London looked like a century ago and what a 'Sailors Town' was like during the Industrial Revolution. We will pass by Sands Films studio that created and produced costumes featured in films like 'Beauty and the Beast' and 'Harry Potter'. Finally, we will have a drink at one of the oldest and most famous London pubs. The walk will cover some history around Rotherhithe Street, The Ship Rotherhithe, The Angel, Sands Films Studio, St. Mary Rotherhithe Church, Brunel Museum and The Mayflower Pub. See you soon!
