Locks Docks But No Smoking Ferry Ride 2

The smoking ferries at Woolwich are no more and even the new ones are not operating at weekends, so we will cross to the north side of the Thames by using the Woolwich Foot Tunnel instead.

On this ride, we will be able to take a look at the works going on to build the Silvertown Tunnel. This, of course, is the bête noire of the cycling community, but, at the same time, is essential for reducing congestion on the Blackwall Tunnel Southern Approach and for supporting the redevelopment of the Royal Docks area.

We will stop for a mid-ride coffee break at the Well Bean Café, 1-2 Upper Dock Walk, London E16 2GU. We will then return via the Greenway to the View Tube in Stratford, where the ride will finish.
