Three Riverside Statues That Share Hidden History in South East London

Take a closer look at three very different sculptures along the Thames Path in South East London.

By looking at the details of 'The Sunbeam Weakly and Pilgrim's Pocket', a Statue of Tsar Peter the Great and 'Dr Salter's Daydream' we find out so many details about the lives of real people and the areas of Rotherhithe, Deptford and Bermondsey.

This is a really nice walk from Greenwich to Tower Bridge, taking 90 minutes to 2 hours along the River Thames, and you can see the artworks plotted on a map here; https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mi...

Which is your favourite of the three sculptures?
