East London walk
the meeting point
The walk started the other side of city hall, but this is a new park that is under construction. Its part of More London.
This is the meeting point, its called The Scoop and is like a small amphitheatre.
shad thames
Shad Thames is an old part of London that has a lot of derelict warehouses which were used for storage. They have now been converted to flats and new buildings have been built to look like the originals that are there.
The bridges you can see where used by workers so they could get from each warehouse easily. You can see on the left side of this photo the old building and on the right the redeveloping of an existing building.
Below is a shared garden for the people that live in the converted warehouses.
towards tower bridge
on the way to tower bridge there was a cafe with some colourful chairs out the front.
lunch
Having just crossed tower bridge we were trying to find somewhere to have lunch, on the way to find somewhere affordable there was a wall of paintings, which were quite fun to look at. 
We eventually found a small cafe, where you can buy a pint of orange juice. as it was a bit windy that day we put all the napkins in the jar with a guard on top. 
spitalfields and brick lane
Spitalfeilds market was empty when we got there
On the way to brick lane there were some degree shows, which weren't as good as I thought they were going to be.
on the way home
On the way to the train station we went over a roundabout which was raised and had seats in the middle. The loop below shows the panoramic all the way round the roundabout.
After a visit to the pub we finally made it to the train station to get home.
