A rare return to Paul's original East London tour and a firm favourite and although much of the dereliction has recently gone we view the hidden sites of interest, social history and change in the area comparing them from the images in Derelict London. Sites include the renovation of St Saviours Church which survived the Blitz but not a fire & the Limehouse Accumulator tower built in 1869 for regulating one of the first hydraulic power systems. We pass some 1970s graffiti proclaiming that "George Davis is Innocent”, lost pubs and stories of the mysterious Black Ditch one of London's Lost Rivers. We stop off along the way for lunchtime drinks and end at a traditional boozer and the option to stay on for some drag act cabaret. Grab a fry up at Frank's opposite the station for pre walk banter with Paul and the locals.

Dogs are welcome. The tour does not involve trespassing on private property. This (roughly) 5 hour walk ends back at Limehouse Station.
