London Wanderings - along Smugglers Lane 29 Jul 2016

With Jeantine at work, it was a leisurely start for us, taking a wander under the Wandsworth Bridge to look for where Jeantine might have caught the ferry to work at Richmond. Past 'The Ship'Pub and along Smugglers Lane past the Waste Recycling area to find what looked like a little walk to a promontory (if it can be called that) by Bell Lane Creek Not a very pretty part of London

The tide being out further exposes the ugly look of the area but a couple of swans can help distract.

A sign of rejection. As much as Jeantine was thinking of a moored long boat / canal boat might be a housing option, we didn't think this would be quite up to standard.

A cluster of more serviceable long boats moored near Wandsworth Park and at the back (I think) the Wandsworth Riverside Quarter Pier where you can catch a Thames Ferry

I don't recall what Barb was pointing out here. The GPS indicates this is 57 Deodar Road. And the time and date stamp shows 1:06am 29 July - I figure that in NZ time, is around 2pm on the 28th?

Then we found ourselves in Brewhouse Lane, checking the inside of a store. The dog however had to remain outside but, was obviously wanting to keep an eye on its owner.
I found most of the urban London dogs, well trained and responsive to their owners commands, which was nice when we were out cycling the Thames Paths. This dog seemed keen to related to the doorman at this building.

The next day's walk saw us being eyeballed by another four legged creature - with a 'have you got something for me?' look.
