Guided tours worth booking: walks led by people who know the streets, and the bus, river and cycling tours that earn their fare. Open one and the map shows the ground it covers, from where it meets.
The docks under the towers: sugar and tobacco warehouses, dockers' lodgings, and a wall left standing by a fire.
Walking
Canary Wharf reads as if it arrived in 1988 with nothing underneath it, and Stefan's walk is about how much of the dock is still there in plain sight - the surviving Georgian warehouses built for sugar and tobacco, where the men who unloaded the ships lived and where their masters lived, and a wall that is all a fire left behind.
He sets his own experience of homelessness beside it, which on this ground is pointed: the docks were built on casual labour hired by the day, and the question of who a boom is for is the same question.
Unseen Tours' guides have all experienced homelessness and are paid for the walk. Starts and ends at the same place.
Adult £18, concessions £15, children under 15 £1 with a paying adult; book ahead, no tickets at the meeting point
