Wapping

It was gorgeous weather this weekend, and I decided it would be good to explore another new area of London. I ended up starting a walk from London Bridge, into St Katharine Docks and then followed the Thames to Wapping.

This place is amazing - with beautiful old pubs on the Water, old warehouses and cobbled streets that had a feel of Oliver Twist as I walked down them.

A pub I'd recommend is named Captain Kidd, and if you walk around further, make sure you visit the Wapping Project. This is the old Hydraulic Power Station, which has been converted into a restaurant and arts centre. The cocktails are delicious (though pricey) and they hold a number of talks, events and exhibitions throughout the year.
