Running & Cycling Near London Dock: Thames Path & Wapping Canals

If you fancy getting some fresh air, London Dock is in a prime location, with the River Thames, St Katharine Docks, Tower Bridge and the City all within easy reach. The neighbourhood offers some of east London’s most scenic and flat running and cycling routes.

Riverside Runs

Step straight onto the Thames Path for a riverside run between Wapping and Tower Bridge, where views of the water and skyline make miles feel shorter.

For 5K lunchtime loops, St Katharine Docks provides a picturesque circuit through historic docklands, while the Wapping Canal Network and quieter residential streets around Shadwell Basin are ideal for maintaining a consistent pace.

Those looking to clock up longer distances can extend their route beyond Tower Bridge towards Millennium Bridge, passing landmarks such as the Tower of London, HMS Belfast and Tate Modern.

Cycle routes and bike storage

Cyclists are equally well catered for, with easy access to largely traffic free routes along the Thames and through the surrounding docklands, while close proximity to London’s designated cycleways, which provide traffic segregated cycle lanes, makes for a calmer commute.

Secure bike storage is available at London Dock, making cycling a convenient and practical option for both everyday travel and leisure.

Ideal for early morning jogs, post work wind downs, or weekend rides, London Dock makes it far easier to stay motivated week after week.
