Walking with Keilyn: Aldgate to St Katharine Docks... and beyond

Sunday September 13, 2026. Cloudy with a high of 22°C (71.6°F), with light showers. After a quick bite for lunch, Keilyn and I made the short walk to Watford underground station, where we caught a Baker Street-bound train, changing at Finchley Road for an Aldgate-bound train. On leaving Aldgate we headed east along Aldgate High Street, joined Whitechapel High Street and then headed south along Leman Street.  Our first stop was at Goodman's Fields to admire the horse statues, before continuing along Leman Street and passing beneath the railway bridge that carries the mainline trains from Fenchurch Street station and the Docklands Light Railway from Tower Gateway, before we stopped at Cable Street.
