After the hustle and bustle of Greenwich this side of the Thames is much quieter. Apart from a few people heading to Greenwich or along the Thames path there is hardly anybody about. The area is called Island Gardens and is in the borough of Tower Hamlets. Looking back across the Thames you get a great view of the former Greenwich Hospital, Cutty Sark and the National Maritime Museum. I head to the main road and jump on 135 bus and head to Shoreditch, which is in walking distance of Whitechapel, as there is a coffee shop/roasters that I want to check out. The journey is pretty uneventful, there is not much of interest to look at. Eventually we hit Canary Wharf which being a Saturday is not very busy and apart from lots of very tall modern buildings there is not a lot to say about the place. We eventually arrive in Limehouse, civilization, normality and people. Its here that I decide to cut the journey short and look for a pub. Its been quite a long and active day and as well as fancying a pint I really need to pee! Unbelievably I walk and walk and walk, see every type of business and shop you can think of but no pub. I walk for almost 25 minutes, I see a sign for Mile End Tube Station to the right and as I cross the road I see a Pub. I fly down the road, straight through the side door and straight to the toilets, it could of got any better!
