FRIENDSHIP WALK.

Going the Extra Mile.

Canary Wharf estate and the Isle of Dogs

Ten members from North and South London Districts join Keith Potter for a leisurely stroll on the Isle of Dogs.

Setting off from the Canary Wharf Jubilee Line station, the group wandered through the Canary Wharf estate looking at the diverse architecture and sculpture.
