Short London Breaks – A Long Walk Along the Thames For Free!
Short London Breaks constantly welcomes the chance to boost the rosy outdoors life – and
mayhap a city break in the capital doesnt immediately lend itself to persuasions of walking out
and taking in some good air, but with the and investment that has taken place over the past few years into the Thames
walk way, thats just what you can do on a bright brisk day like today.
If you’re barely in the city for the weekend then the ensuing walk ticks lots of extraordinary boxes – sight-seeing opportunities,
culinary treats, cultivation, and best of all, good on the budget!
If youre approaching the walk by tube then Id recommend departing at either London Bridge or Borough stations.
Arriving out of either of those steer North until you discover the the River Thames.
Why not get-going your walk by venturing out onto London Bridge itself? Although it doesnt have the beauty of many of the other bridges
it does yield a smashing place to take impressions of Tower Bridge as well as The Tower of London on the North Bank of the Thames.
Then leading west along the river again you shouldnt leave out a perusal around Borough Market – a sure
treat for all the gastronomes out there who need divine guidance or just something exceptional to nosh on.
The market specialises in produce from lesser societies and producers from round the UK – but it also is
a primary place to pick up olives from Greeece, fromage from France, Ostrich from South Africa, chillies from Brazil – the listing is incessant.
Its a fundamental place to discover a sandwich for later on in your walking besides.
Keeping along back to the river you’ll witness some of the foremost panoramas of the river from here – with the City of London
offering its fullest enthralling side, including the Lloyds Building, the Gherkin,St Pauls, the Barbican etc etc.
There are a of inexpensive eating houses along the river walk at this point – pizza, Greek, up market burger shops too – so
if youre in the market place for a mid-price as a break this is a charming place to choose, and you can enjoy the river perspectives at the same time.
Umpteen of the restaurant on here are members of the larger restaurant groups and so its worthwhile downloading out their web sites
for price reduction coupons and exceptional offers – try Pizza Express, The Real Greek, the Gourmet Burger Kitchen for instance.
Extending along the Thames Path then you’ll before long pass the rebuilt Globe Theatre on your left and its worth popping in and checking out
the special offers. They do smashing standing tickets for the evening performances and given the architecture and
atmosphere of the building at around £5 it makes for a great night’s amusement even if plays arent your usual thing.
Continuiung our walk along the SOuth Bank, arriving at the Millenium Bridge you’re faced with a couple of choices.
Just walking out onto the bridge, once more, gives some smashing pic chances, but it also permits you to divert up to St Pauls Cathedral and view
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 outline should fill at least three hours of your afternoon, but if youre still keen to hit the pavement further then continue along the river to the South Bank
complex – go into the Royal Festival Hall, up to the 6th floor balcony and relish some of the best scenes of London. Dont forget to take your camera with you
and this is an afternoon when the budget wont be hit bad at all!.
