Short London Breaks ever welcomes the opportunity to promote the nourishing outdoors living – and
perchance a city holiday in the capital doesnt immediately lend itself to persuasions of striding out
and taking in some good air, but with the and investment that has taken place over the last few years into the Thames
walk way, thats just what you can do on a radiant crisp day like today.
If you’re barely in the metropolis for the weekend then the succeeding walk ticks lots of extraordinary boxes – sight-seeing chances,
culinary deals, culture, and best of all, good on the budget!
If youre approaching the walk by subway then Id commend commencing at either London Bridge or Borough stations.
Arriving out of either of those pass North until you discover the the River Thames.
Why not get-going your tour by launching out onto London Bridge itself? Although it doesnt have the romance of many of the alternative bridges
it does yield a smashing place to take scenes of Tower Bridge as well as The Tower of London on the North Bank of the Thames.
Then head west along the river again you shouldnt overlook a stroll around Borough Market – a tangible
treat for all the bon vivant out there who require divine guidance or just something unusual to nosh on.
The marketplace specialises in produce from smaller parties and growers from round the UK – but it also is
a huge place to notice olives from Greeece, fromage from France, Ostrich from South Africa, chillies from Brazil – the list is unlimited.
Its a great place to call for a sandwich for later on in your walking as well.
Proceeding along back to the river you’ll come across some of the optimum panoramas of the river from here – with the City of London
offering its nicest bewitching face, including the Lloyds Building, the Gherkin,St Pauls, the Barbican etc etc.
There are a range of affordable eating houses along the river walk at this stage – pizza, Greek, up market burger stores too – so
if youre in the market for a mid-price repast as a break this is a cracking position to choose, and you can relish the river prospects at the same time.
Some of the restaurant along here are part of the larger restaurant chains and so its a good idea assessing out their websites
for price reduction vouchers and budget offers – try Pizza Express, The Real Greek, the Gourmet Burger Kitchen for instance.
Proceeding along the Thames Path then you’ll before long come across the rebuilt Globe Theatre on your left and its worth dropping by and assessing
the special ticket offers. They do outstanding standing tickets for the evening performances and given the architecture and
ambiance of the theatre at around £5 it makes for a exceptional night’s amusement even if plays arent your usual thing.
Continuiung our walk along the SOuth Bank, reaching the Millenium Bridge you’re confronted with a pair of choices.
Just walking out onto the bridge, once again, gives some good pic opportunities, but it also allows for you to divert up to St Pauls Cathedral and discover
Christopher Wren’s creation.
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 afternoon, but if youre still keen to hit the pavement further then keep 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!.
