Short London Breaks constantly welcomes the opportunity to promote the nourishing outdoors living – and
perchance a city in the capital doesnt generally lend itself to persuasions of launching out
and taking in some good air, but with the development and investment that has taken place over the past few years into the Thames
walk way, thats just what you can do on a shining fine day like today.
If you’re merely in the city for the weekend then the ensuing walk ticks lots of extraordinary boxes – sight-seeing chances,
culinary delicacies, cultivation, and best of all, easy on the budget!
If youre approaching the walk by subway then Id recommend originating at either London Bridge or Borough stations.
Hailing out of either of those lead North until you find yourself at the The Thames.
Why not start your explorations by launching out onto London Bridge itself? Although it doesnt have the romance of lots of the alternative bridges
it does open a wonderful place to take scenes of Tower Bridge as well as The Tower of London on the North Bank of the Thames.
Then drift west along the river once more you shouldnt neglect a stroll around Borough Market – a genuine
treat for all the gastronomes out there who need divine guidance or just something unusual to snack on.
The food market specialises in produce from lesser parties and manufacturers from around the UK – but it also is
a extraordinary place to find olives from Greeece, fromage from France, Ostrich from South Africa, chillies from Brazil – the number is never-ending.
Its a terrific place to call for a sandwich for later on in your walking too.
Extending along back to the river you’ll run across some of the foremost sights of the river from here – with the City of London
offering its nicest spellbinding face, including the Lloyds Building, the Gherkin,St Pauls, the Barbican etc etc.
There are a range of affordable restaurants along the river walk at this level – pizza, Greek, up market burger stores also – so
if youre in the market for a mid-price lunch as a break this is a good place to choose, and you can enjoy the river aspects at the same time.
Many of the restaurant on here are members of the larger restaurant groups and so its worthwhile assessing out their internet sites
for deduction coupons and budget offers – try Pizza Express, The Real Greek, the Gourmet Burger Kitchen for instance.
Continuing along the Thames Path then you’ll shortly arrive at the rebuilt Globe Theatre on your left and its worth dropping in and assessing
the special . They do wonderful standing tickets for the evening performances and given the architecture and
ambiance of the theatre at around £5 it makes for a unforgettable night’s amusement even if plays arent your habitual thing.
Continuiung our walk along the SOuth Bank, reaching the Millenium Bridge you’re confronted with a pair of alternatives.
Just walking out onto the bridge, again, gives some great photograph opportunities, but it also allows you to deviate through to St Pauls Cathedral and experience
Christopher Wren’s magnificence.
Back on the Southside there’s more free culture available in the form of the Tate Modern – which always has
a central exhibit in the main hall which generally delights even the most disinterested art viewer.
Just the walk above should fill at least three hours of your morning, but if youre still keen to hit the pavement more then continue along the river to the South Bank
complex – go into the Royal Festival Hall, up to the 6th floor balcony and revel in some of the best views of London. Dont forget to take your camera with you
and this is an afternoon when the budget wont be hit disadvantageously at all!.
