Sat 17 OCT 2026 - ISLE OF DOGS CIRCULAR WITH THE BLIND RAMBLERS - Antonella G

This circular London walk offers real breathing space within the City. Although the island is under rapid development, the clatter is muted by the calm waters of the Thames that gracefully meanders towards the sea. Grebes, gulls and people alike enjoy the escape it offers from the frenetic urban forest. There are two very different worlds here and both are very enjoyable.Along the walk the Isle of Dogs has plenty of green space on offer with the Sir John McDougal Gardens, Island Gardens and Mudchute farm part of our walk. We stop at Mudchute Farm for coffee and cake.There’s lots of fascinating history to uncover too – all shaped by the presence of the mighty Thames.
