Start/finish Southwark Needle, south side London Bridge, 9.30am. NOTE EARLY START. Amanda leading and aiming to finish around 1pm. We subtitled this ride the first time we did it in 2018 “The New, The Old and The Derelict”. There is now less of the derelict and more of the new and the route has to change to reflect this. You can read about the 2021 ride here.  In addition the Woolwich Ferry is not working at present and the foot tunnels are unreliable so this year we are using London Bridge to cross the river (Tower Bridge is also closed!).

There is much of interest in the East London Docklands. We go over Tower Bridge, then past Tobacco Dock to WestFerry to connect to Canary Wharf.  Subway & through Old London Wall section (same route for return from here as its prettier than alternatives.)  A loop for Trinity where will have a stop. Then on to Barrier Park North (exit through maze), over Connaught Bridge, past the right hand side of ExCel Centre as they are extending it and riverside is closed. Finally Canning Town, back to London Wall section and over Tower Bridge. About 15 miles. The image file below shows the track of Amanda’s recce.

For those of you who have not visited Trinity Buoy Wharf, try to get on this ride. Completely unique site with 2 decent cafes and some interesting art. Plus the history related to Trinity House and Michael Faraday.  Coffee stop at Trinity or possibly Prime, north side Albert Dock next to Connaught Bridge.
