In the morning we went to Eltham Palace,an unique Art Deco mansion in a medieval setting.
''Built for millionaires, Eltham Palace reflects the glamour and allure of 1930s fashionable society. Stunning interiors and furnishings reflect a masterpiece of design, and combine the cutting edge designs of ocean-liner style, with French influence Art Deco. The mansion's backdrop is a medieval royal palace from Tudor times, with magnificent Great Hall, the childhood home of Henry VIII. The 19 acres of beautiful gardens blend 1930s and medieval features, including London's oldest working bridge over the moat.''
In the afternoon , we all met up in St Katharine's Dock. Tim Hudson gave the whole Group its history, then those who opted to walk then followed the Thames Path ,with diversions up Wapping High Street, ending at Shadwell Basin.The rest of Group stayed in the Dockyard where there was plenty to look at.
We were very lucky that the weather was fine
