Short London Breaks – Recommends A Walk Along the Thames
Short London Breaks perpetually welcomes the opportunity to boost the nourishing outdoors life – and
perhaps a city in the capital doesnt immediately lend itself to thoughts of walking out
and taking in some clear air, but with the development and investment that has taken place over the last few years into the Thames
walk way, thats just what you can do on a promising fresh day like today.
If you’re merely in the metropolis for the weekend then the ensuing walk ticks lots of assorted boxes – sight-seeing chances,
culinary treats, cultivation, and best of all, good on the budget!
If youre approaching the walk by London Undergorund or National Rail then Id urge coming out at either London Bridge or Borough stations.
Coming out of either of those lead North tll you touch the river.
Why not take off your explorations by embarking out onto London Bridge itself? Although it doesnt have the beauty of some of the bridges
it does allow a super place to take scenes of Tower Bridge as well as The Tower of London on the North Bank of the Thames.
Then heading up west besides the river once again you shouldnt neglect a wander around Borough Market – a true
treat for all the bon vivant out there who desire divine guidance or just something unusual to bite on.
The food market specialises in produce from moderate societies and manufacturers from round the UK – but it also is
a marvellous place to detect olives from Greeece, fromage from France, Ostrich from South Africa, chillies from Brazil – the number is limitless.
Its a super place to discover a sandwich for later on in your walking too.
Keeping along back to the river you’ll run into some of the greatest sights of the river from here – with the City of London
offering its happiest charismatic side, including the Lloyds Building, the Gherkin,St Pauls, the Barbican etc etc.
There are a host of inexpensive eating houses along the river walk at this level – pizza, Greek, up market burger shops also – so
if youre in the market place for a mid-price repast as a break this is a superb position to choose, and you can savour the river views at the same time.
Some of the restaurant on here are members of the larger restaurant groups and so its worthwhile checking out their web sites
for discount rate coupons and budget offers – try Pizza Express, The Real Greek, the Gourmet Burger Kitchen for instance.
Remaining along the Thames Path then you’ll shortly come to the rebuilt Globe Theatre on your left and its worth coming by and looking out for
the special deals. They do cracking standing tickets for the evening performances and given the architecture and
atmosphere of the building at around £5 it makes for a unforgettable night’s amusement even if plays arent your usual thing.
Continuiung our amble along the SOuth Bank, coming to the Millenium Bridge you’re faced with a pair of choices.
Simply walking out onto the bridge, once more, gives some superb photograph chances, but it also allows for you to divert over to St Pauls Cathedral and visit
Christopher Wren’s chef-d’oeuvre.
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 morning, but if youre still keen to hit the pavement more then stay 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 aspects of London. Dont forget to take your camera with you
and this is an afternoon when the budget wont be hit seriously at all!.
