How To Enjoy A Sunday Afternoon At Greenland Quay
Boat houses
It’s been a while since I’ve taken off on a Sunday stroll. Thankfully the pleasant weather in London has arrived so we can venture out and explore the city a bit more. It felt like we had been hibernating for so long. If you happen to be in London or are visiting, be sure to check out Greenland Quay in south London and discover how to enjoy a Sunday afternoon at Greenland Quay.
There are various ways to get there:
By Bike
Cycling is a great way to get around the area
I discovered Greenland’s Quay during the lockdown of 2020 when we were able to exercise outdoors with a family or a household member. We chose cycling as our form of exercise and haven’t looked back since. If anything it has made us crave more for cycling. You can access the area by bike via cycle lanes.
By foot

By river
Tour the area and explore the Thames via Thames Clipper, Dockland’s ferry, Uber boat or by foot. Why should you go for a walk around Greenland Quay? Sunday afternoon is a brilliant time to clear your head ready for the upcoming week and the area is a breeze. If you have a local area similar to this venue in your town, city or country, then it’s worth a try.
Additionally, it’s a good way to connect with nature, that is the river and the greenery

What a great way to spend a sunny day. Being around the water is always uplifting and with so much activity to see, it would make for excellent people-watching. Of course, it also looks like a great spot to observe waterfowl, as well.
Being around water is somehow therapeutic and a relaxing way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
