Passing time in Wapping Rose Gardens

This pleasant open space between Green Bank and Wapping High Street was called Riverside Gardens in the postwar years. Friends enjoy the October sunshine – Wapping seems full of young people. Chimney Court, left, is a former soap factory converted to flats. Tower Buildings, right, is a tenement surviving from 1864. The thing in the sky must be a plastic bag – it was a breezy day.
