Description
Forget the hype: London is a rubbish city! Rejoice in the junk and wonder at the waste on this winding trail of muck and trash.
On this 2 mile guided walk from the Docklands to Greenwich we'll pass historic dumps and landfills and hear the stories of castaway communities. We'll ponder the sounds and smells of the city's waste, past and present, and marvel at its transformation.
What to expect
The Rubbish Trip offers an alternative perspective on this part of London by linking together features of the landscape through the theme of rubbish. Tour goers will:
- find out about London's rubbish – past, present and future – the characters involved in collecting it, and the marvellous methods of transforming it.
- explore a seldom-visited part of the capital – the Isle of Dogs – taking in such gems as Millwall Dock, Mudchute Park & Farm, Island Gardens with its spectacular views of the Royal Naval College, and the Greenwich Foot Tunnel.
- learn about the history of the area.
- end the tour by the river in Greenwich, with its rich collection of historic rubbish.
A Rubbish Trip is led by Rosie Oliver. Hear Rosie introduce the walk in this 3 minute podcast.
