  • Tower Hill to Putney Bridge Via Thames Path Walk
    Saturday Walkers Club www.walkingclub.org.uk Tower Hill to Putney Bridge via Thames Path walk The Thames Path through the centre of London, passing the City, Westminster, Chelsea, Battersea and Putney via 18 bridges Length 18.2 km (11.3 miles) All tarmac. OS Map OS Explorer maps 161 (London South) and 173 (London North) Toughness 1 out of 10. But as the entire walk is on tarmac or hard surfaces, it is recommended you wear well cushioned trainers instead of walking boots. Features This walk follows the River Thames Path from Tower Bridge through Central London past the main tourist sites - The Tower of London, HMS Belfast, St Paul's, The Tate Modern, The Houses of Parliament to name a few - and follows it to the city's western suburbs of Battersea, Pimlico, and Putney, passing apartment blocks from the Victorian, Edwardian and modern eras, city parks, riverside pubs, and on-river pubs (boats). Early in the walk you will cross the river half a dozen times! Its easy to take time out from the walk to visit an art gallery (Tate Modern and Tate Britain), a concert (the Queen Elizabeth Hall usually has lunchtime music), or a tourist attraction (the Tower of London, the London Dungeon, St Paul's Cathedral, London Sealife Aquarium and the London Eye) along the way. The walk can be done in either direction, you can also choose between the north bank and south banks paths, swapping between them at any of the bridges. The recommended route has you crossing several of the 18 bridges you'll pass (3 more are rail bridges without a pedestrian footpath, and 1 is a rail bridge, but you'd need a ticket) but if you prefer, having crossed Tower Bridge at the start of the walk, you can stay on the South Bank.
