On Wednesday 9th July, Ms Pollard took a very lucky group of St Paul’s children for a days sailing at Greenland Dock.
Greenland Dock is the oldest of London’s riverside wet docks, located in Rotherhithe area of the London Borough of Southwark. It used to be part of the Surrey Commercial Docks, most of which have by now been filled in. Greenland Dock is now used purely for recreational purposes; it is one of only two functioning enclosed docks on the south bank of the River Thames, along with the smaller South Dock, to which it is connected by a channel now known as Greenland Cut.
We took a few pictures of our sailers, which can be seen below.
