Chimneys & Tunnels Along The Thames, 14th May

On this occasional guided walk we track down the unmarked monuments and buried tubes around Greenwich. We seek out their stories of power, pollution and danger. 

We start by speeding across the Thames by Clipper from Greenwich Pier to Masthouse Terrace Quay. From there it's a 3 and a half mile 'dot-to-dot' walk as we link together the chimneys above our heads, sometimes tracing the routes of tunnels.

The walk gives an insight into the many layers of history that make up Greenwich, through stories about past and present chimneys and tunnels. Tour goers will:

The walk starts and ends at the Greenwich Pier ticket office. You will need to arrive a little before 2.30pm to buy a Thames Clipper single ticket to Masthouse Terrace. The ticket office queue can move slowly.

The tour price includes a smoky snack. It does not include the cost of the Thames Clipper river crossing ticket.

The walk is suitable for adults and over 16s. It involves going up and down stairs and crossing roads.

Note to budding steeplejacks and subterranean explorers: leave your harnesses, torches and hard hats at home! Apart from the descent into one tunnel, we'll keep our feet firmly on ground level as we let our minds wander above and below.

Gift vouchers are available for this and other Dotmaker walks. The walks are also available to private groups.
