Members of the Cambridge Society took an evening stroll through the Rotherhithe waterscape in June, led by Blue Badge Tourist Guide Caroline Piper. The weather was perfect, with gentle evening light resulting in great photos for everyone. The redeveloped docks were incredibly peaceful and the views of Canary Wharf and the City of London from Stave Hill were picture postcard good. Concluding the walk in the cobbled streets of old Rotherhithe village was an atmospheric treat, especially for our American member who could finally say she had been to the Mayflower pub. By the end of the tour everyone knew that the Mayflower had set sail for the New World in 1620 from Rotherhithe, not Plymouth, and the pilgrims should have named Plymouth Rock accordingly! Many of the group told Caroline that they had never thought to visit Rotherhithe before, but were impressed and would be coming back!
