I take every folders and leaflets which can help me discover London.
What is obvious for old Londoners it's sometimes difficult to find for us, immigrants.
Last time I took maps with Thames path walks and my hubby noticed the Greenwich Foot Tunnel.
The plan was simple: we take DLR train to Canary Warf and go along river path to the tunnel.
Of course it wasn't so simple especially with children but they get used to. We always got idea like this.
So we took the train and left at the station. Outside we met a group of people lookig up and making pics.
It came in that it's an action 'Reach for the sky', charity for a canser research.
We stayed few minutes admiring peoples brave and moved to find the Thames. Our map turned up very simplified, very confusing becouse there isn't one water-basin but thanks this we went into cute Jubilee Park.
Finnaly we took a good direction and got the river.
We walk by Mill Wall, turned on Westferry Rd and back to path.
Then we discovered a place where the Great Eastern was built and there we stayed for a rest.
It will always a mistery for me, why childrem are tired walking straight way and full of strength finding a place like that above
It wasn't far to the tunnel so we found it soon with another occasion to make children happy again
After our ford we ate something among many tourists, mostly German speaking teenagers and we moved back.
I realy don't konw how we found forces to buy shoes for my daughter..
