Evening on the North Bank

Cannon Street to Greenwich
3 December 2014
7 miles
14 people

We walked on air in the golden evening sun
Where city pubs sold out of champagne
Crimson poppies thronged by the Tower
Bascules of the bridge opened in greeting.

Narrow cobbled streets bathed in sunlight
Canary Wharf's great golden obelisk ahead
The sun slowly setting behind our backs
The Greenwich tunnel to drink and food.
