Short London Breaks – Top Budget Days Out
Short London Breaks always welcomes the chance to push the nourishing outdoors life – and
maybe a city in the capital doesnt generally lend itself to views of stepping out
and taking in some good air, but with the and investiture that has taken place over the last few years into the Thames
walk way, thats just what you can do on a rosy exhilarating day like now.
If you’re just in the city for the weekend then the following walk ticks lots of contrasting boxes – sight-seeing chances,
culinary treats, culture, and best of all, easy on the budget!
If youre approaching the walk by underground then Id consider setting forth at either London Bridge or Borough stations.
Emerging down of either of those guide North until you come to the the River Thames.
Why not lead off your walk by launching out onto London Bridge itself? Although it doesnt have the charm of many of the other bridges
it does open a fantastic place to take exposures of Tower Bridge as well as The Tower of London on the North Bank of the Thames.
Then pointing west along the river once again you shouldnt overlook an amble around Borough Market – a true
treat for all the bon vivant out there who need divine guidance or just something different to nosh on.
The market specialises in produce from little parties and manufacturers from round the UK – but it also is
a uncommon place to acquire olives from Greeece, fromage from France, Ostrich from South Africa, chillies from Brazil – the listing is extended.
Its a tremendous place to pick up a sandwich for later on in your walking as well.
Proceeding along back to the river you’ll take in some of the happiest vistas of the river from here – with the City of London
offering its nicest photogenic face, including the Lloyds Building, the Gherkin,St Pauls, the Barbican etc etc.
There are a expansive range of inexpensive eating houses along the river walk at this phase – pizza, Greek, up market burger shops as well – so
if youre in the market for a mid-price lunch as a treat this is a fortuitous place to choose, and you can savour the river scenes at the same time.
Many of the restaurant on here are members of the larger restaurant chains and so its worth assessing out their websites
for discount coupons and exceptional offers – try Pizza Express, The Real Greek, the Gourmet Burger Kitchen for instance.
Continuing along the Thames Path then you’ll before long pass the rebuilt Globe Theatre on your left and its worth dropping in and checking out
the special deals. They do special standing tickets for the evening performances and given the architecture and
atmosphere of the venue at around £5 it makes for a memorable night’s entertainment even if plays arent your accustomed thing.
Continuiung our walk along the SOuth Bank, coming to the Millenium Bridge you’re fronted with a pair of choices.
Just walking out onto the bridge, once more, gives some good photograph chances, but it also allows you to deviate through to St Pauls Cathedral and find
Christopher Wren’s magnificence.
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 above should fill at least three hours of your time, 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 delight in 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 seriously at all!.
