We took a different route this morning in honour of the hot sun. Down the canal, as usual, where a man was walking his pit bulls:-
Past the VIP garage, soon to be redeveloped:-
Through the churchyard of St. Anne’s:-
In Ropemaker’s Field, someone was doing a handstand:-
After a long detour downriver, we crossed the Chris Wilkinson’s bridge to Canary Wharf:-
Across the Future Systems bridge to West India Quay:-
Robert Milligan presides, the slaveowner who put together the consortium which was responsible for the construction of West India dock:-
Back to St. Anne’s:-
And home through Stepney churchyard:-












I can’t find any links to the redevelopment of the VIP Garage you mention. Do you know what’s planned, and whether the building will be preserved in some form?
No, pass, but I will try and find out. Charles
It’s apparently been sold to a private developer (Rainbow) who has got permission for a mixed redevelopment. Charles
Thanks for the update. I’ll try and find the planning application. I wonder if the building’s listed…
