At the river end of Watergate Street crane your neck for a view
of the Master Shipwrights House, built in 1710. Described
as one of the half dozen earliest surviving naval dockyard
buildings in Britain, it recently featured in the Times property
pages with a price tag of 5 million.
Deptford remained the cradle of the English navy for over 300
years, and developed a reputation as a centre of shipbuilding
excellence across Europe. By the time it closed in 1869, some
350 ships had been built here.
The route now follows the perimeter of the old Royal Naval
Dockyard 28 , founded by Henry VIII on the site in 1513.
It became the base for many famous English expeditions,
including those led by Walter Raleigh and Captain Cook. Sir
Francis Drake was knighted here in 1581 by Elizabeth I after
he had circumnavigated the world in the Pelican, renamed
The Golden Hind during the voyage.
In the 19th and early 20th centuries the tea trade brought large
numbers of Chinese sailors to settle here. The area became
known as Chinatown, where the restaurants, gambling and
opium dens attracted a sinister reputation.
Now for a bit of trivia: Did you know that the actor Michael
Caine was born in Rotherhithe on 14 March 1933 as Maurice
Joseph Micklewhite?
The route now heads north, under the Thames through the
Greenwich Foot Tunnel into the borough of Tower Hamlets.
The name derives from the small villages or hamlets that
were near the Tower of London. There is nothing hamlet-like
about the area today!
The route runs from the South Bank, along the bank of the
River Thames to Greenwich, then along the north bank of the
river via Canary Wharf, Limehouse and Tower Bridge, and
back to the South Bank.
Keep riding, onto Tooley Street and past the former dock
that is now Hays Galleria 8 . It was once known as
the Larder of London because of its enormous trade in
foodstuffs. At Potters Fields you rejoin the river for one of
the best panoramic views in London. Ahead of you is City
Hall 9 (designed by the same architects as the Gherkin
across the river): the shapes of both buildings have inspired
some amusing nicknames! To your left, on the river, is
HMS Belfast 10 (which served in WW2) and, to your
right, Tower Bridge 11 . You might be lucky enough to
see the drawbridge being raised these days it happens
about 10 times a week. When it was built the bridge would
have been open most of the time, which is why the high
pedestrian walkways were needed.
Despite that, this was also a popular place to live and visit
away from the busy, crowded and dirty city. Cherry Gardens
15 was a resort in the 17th century and was visited by the
diarist Samuel Pepys (perhaps best known for his account
of the Great Fire of London in 1666). Not much further
along are the remains of the moated Manor House 16 of
Edward III (King of England 1327-1377). He led his troops to
victory against the French at the Battle of Crcy in 1346 but
is perhaps best known for creating the Order of the Garter.
Apparently, the chivalrous king picked up a ladys fallen garter
and declared Honi soit qui mal y pense (Evil to him who evil
thinks). Notwithstanding its curious name, the Order of the
Garter is the pinnacle of the British honours system.
it, the Old Brewery has recently been brought back to life,
brewing beers made to historical recipes. If you decide to
sample how London beer tasted in 1750, have a care though
it is 8% vol.!
If you cycle the whole route without stopping it will take around
3 hours. However, there are many interesting places to stop
off and explore so you may wish to take a whole day.
You can also cycle just part of the route and return to the
start by boat or train (see the map and FAQs inside for further
details).
