A riverside journey from Limehouse DLR through some of the Thames Path's most historically layered stretches — past Shadwell Basin, the former site of the London Docks and Tobacco Dock, and into St Katharine Docks beside the Tower of London
Starting at Limehouse DLR Station, this 4.7 km self-guided running and walking route follows the Thames Path through some of East London's most historically layered neighbourhoods. From Limehouse Basin Marina, the route hugs the river through Shadwell Basin and the Wapping — once the heart of London's maritime trade, where sailors, pirates, and merchants lived side by side. Pass Tobacco Dock and what remains of London Dock before arriving at the stunning St Katharine Docks, London's most famous marina, and finishing at Tower Hill Underground Station in the shadow of the Tower of London. This is a route where every bend in the river reveals another chapter of the city's docklands' story.
