After watching at St Mary Abchurch we decided to do a Wild Flower Walk bead the Thames, between London Bridge and Tower Bridge: mainly because we were hoping the see the Hemlock Water Dropwort, that grows just downstream of the old Billingsgate Fish Market, in flower; which we did.
In the event, we joined the Thames Path behind St Magnus-the-Martyr and left the Path upon arriving at the Tower of London, when we turned to walk up to the Trinity Garden (the LB of Tower Hamlets) and thence to the Tower Gateway' DLR Station.
We saw fifty or so species, including:
Buck's-Horn Plantain
Common Bramble
Common Mallow
Common Mouse-Ear
Creeping Buttercup
Dock sp. (unidentified)
Groundsel
Hemlock Water Dropwort viz.
Herb Robert
Ivy-Leaved Toadflax
Jersey Cudweed
Knotted Clover viz.
Lesser Trefoil
Lesser Swinecress
Pearlwort
Pellitory-of-the-Wall
Pineapleweed
Red Dead-Nettle
Spotted Medick
Spotted Spurge (in front of the old Fish Market) viz.
Spring Beauty viz.
Water Bent
and White Clover
