Refer below for the proposed schedule - all is optional and I'll put an asterisk* beside items that you'll need to book.

If you're not going to join us for the pub, please let us know so we can book a space for number of people accordingly.

Pre-tour: 10:30 - 10:45am Emirates Air Line Cable car - if you haven't taken a jaunt over the Thames via the cable car yet, it's worth the quick trip. Recommend jumping on at Royal Docks (north bank) to meet us at the North Greenwich station for 11am. Should cost you about £4 and you can pay by contactless or Oyster. Point of interest: The Crystal (building) adjacent to station is where the GLA have just moved to.
11:00am Tour Meeting point: North Greenwich Station.
11:10am Design District: Recently completed Design District has some great modern architecture on display by some talented smaller and up & coming architectural practices as a response to facilitating space for creativity and innovation.
12:00 noon Now Gallery* 'Your Ship has Landed' by Lydia Chan: within the Design District, Now Gallery has a fun and punchy exhibition by Lydia Chan (pictured). Please book your free ticket for this if you'd like to join, here.

38 min walk to:

13:30pm Maritime Museum explore*: there are some great free exhibitions here or you could pay to see the astronomy photographer of the year. Either way, you'll need to book in your free visit spot to comply with their covid capacity monitoring, here.

OR - if the weather is nice you might fancy

13:30pm Prime Meridian and Greenwich Park: walk through the lovely Greenwich park and up to the Prime Meridian line for some unrivalled views of the east and City of London.
15:30pm Trafalgar Tavern: Reconvene for a drink or two and/or some food and the historic Trafalgar Tavern, where Charles Dickons was known to frequent and where the annual ministerial Whitebait Dinners would take place.

Hope you'll be up for this fun day out together to ward off those February blues!
