A Hydrodetour exploration of London’s watery genesis, around new Woolwich Thameside.

About

Join Charlie Fox and Sailor Forbes for an Hydrodetour exploration of London’s watery genesis, around Woolwich Thameside. Starting near to the Thames Barrier – Sailor Forbes will guide you on a tour of London’s true centre, the Celtic Omphalos of the pre-Roman City complex lost beneath the destructive power of this ‘civilising’ Empire. Before this glassy empire of Riverside apartments, lay a network of pathways and waterways linking the city/network to Europe. 

Note: Bring sturdy shoes for this walk (Distance: approx. 2 miles)

* Part of Totally Thames 2021 Festival
