Short London Breaks constantly welcomes the opportunity to advertise the healthy outdoors spirit – and

maybe a city  in the capital doesnt automatically lend itself to thoughts of launching out

and taking in some pure air, but with the evolution and investment that has taken place over the last few years into the Thames 

walk way, thats just what you can do on a brilliant crisp day like today.

If you’re simply in the metropolis for the weekend then the ensuing walk ticks lots of extraordinary boxes – sight-seeing chances,

culinary delicacies, civilisation, and best of all, good on the budget!

If youre approaching the walk by tube then Id urge departing at either London Bridge or Borough stations.

Coming Up out of either of those steer North until you strike the the River Thames.

Why not set forth your tour by embarking out onto London Bridge itself? Although it doesnt have the charm of lots of the alternative bridges

it does open a superb place to take scenes of Tower Bridge as well as The Tower of London on the North Bank of the Thames.

Then leading west on the river again you shouldnt leave out an amble around Borough Market – a substantial

treat for all the gourmets out there who need divine guidance or just something peculiar to nosh on.

The market place specialises in produce from tiny societies and producers from round the UK – but it also is

a terrific place to discover olives from Greeece, fromage from France, Ostrich from South Africa, chillies from Brazil – the number is infinite.

Its a grand place to collect a sandwich for later on in your walk as well.

Extending along back to the river you’ll run across some of the greatest vistas of the river from here – with the City of London

offering its greatest winning face, including the Lloyds Building, the Gherkin,St Pauls, the Barbican etc etc.

There are a range of inexpensive eating places along the river walk at this point – pizza, Greek, up market burger stores as well – so 

if youre in the market for a mid-price meal as a break this is a cracking point to choose, and you can enjoy the river prospects at the same time.

Many of the restaurant along here are part of the larger groups and so its a good idea visiting out their websites

for deduction coupons and budget offers – try Pizza Express, The Real Greek, the Gourmet Burger Kitchen for instance.

Staying along the Thames Path then you’ll before long come to the rebuilt Globe Theatre on your left and its worth dropping in and looking out for

the special offers. They do super 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 entertainment even if plays arent your usual thing.

Continuiung our walk along the SOuth Bank, arriving at the Millenium Bridge you’re confronted with a couple of choices.

Merely walking out onto the bridge, again, gives some charming photograph opportunities, but it also allows you to deviate up to St Pauls Cathedral and check into

Christopher Wren’s masterpiece.

Returning to 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 outline should fill at least three hours of your afternoon, 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 enjoy some of the best vistas of London. Dont forget to take your camera with you

and this is an afternoon when the budget wont be hit gravely at all!.
