Today I'm on Wapping High Street with great views of the River Thames and Wharves from London Docklands.
This is a place with a strong maritime and trading history that for over 150 years faciliated the trade of Britain and Empire.
There are numerous stairs leading down to the Thames, all with stories to tell.
We see the Town of Ramsgate next to Wapping Old Stairs, with connections to Judge Jeffreys and fishermen from Ramsgate offloading their fish so they could avoid taxes that would be paid furher upstream at old Billingsgate.
We visit the Captain Kidd, a pub named after a pirate, who was hung at nearby Execution Dock.
Plesae join me to look at this wonderful street with its wondefully restored buildings, that once housed goods from the Empire through companies like the East India. and are now residential developments.
