"Of the many sources I consulted, I am particularly indebted to Paul Talling's Derelict London"
Neil Cross - author of Luther (crime drama)

The Derelict London tour of Silvertown is kindly sponsored by Husk Brewing Ltd. The E16 area has lost so many old school drinking establishments over the years. Husk is a welcome recent addition to the area - friendly with good value quality beer brewed on the premises. Try the Derelict London IPA! The taproom at 58A North Woolwich Road, E16 2AA is open Fri 5 - 11pm & Sat 5 - 11pm though earlier opening to cater for Derelict London postwalk drinks.

A walk around Silvertown, a place of early inspiration for the Derelict London website. Much has changed over the last 16 years since the website started in 2003 and this tour takes in some remaining sites of decay which are most certainly set to change over the next few years in the name of regeneration.

This tour lasting 3 to 3 1/2 hours views the exteriors of sites covered in the Derelict London website & book such as the long abandoned but soon to be redeveloped Millennium Mills, the derelict Tate Institute, the remains of Tay Wharf & the closed down Georges Diner (without the apostrophe!) plus some original picket line graffiti,an overgrown dead pub, a Victorian church that is now a music hall, a memorial to an explosion at a local munitions factory plus some general history of the area, social stories from the past and a look at how its all about to change. At the end, we visit the Husk Brewery taproom for excellent beers brewed on the premises (food plus soft and other alcoholic drinks are available).
