On a Friday evening at the end of May members of the Society spent a lovely spring evening strolling along the riverside in Wapping, led by Blue Badge Tourist Guide Caroline Piper. A particular highlight was St Katherine’s Dock, looking even prettier than normal (see photos of the group). It was host to the surviving Dunkirk “little ships” that answered the Admiralty’s call 26 May to 4 June 1940 and crossed the Channel to Dunkirk to rescue British and French troops stranded in France. Other highlights were the Thames beaches revealed at low tide and accessible down atmospheric narrow alleyways and steep old, slimy stairs from Wapping – they give a unique riverside view of London!
