An Evening Dawdle Along the Thames (Westminster to London Bridge)

Evening Walk SWC 245:  Westminster to London Bridge t=swc.245

Meet:  18:30 at the Westminster Tube Station (just outside the exit across the street from Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament with Westminster Bridge to the left when looking at Big Ben).

End:  London Bridge -- Tube/Mainline Station

Distance:  Approximately 2 miles

This is a short easy evening saunter along the South Bank of the Thames. Take your time perusing and enjoying the sights and sounds of the annual Southbank Christmas Market! More information about the route can be found here.

Refreshment stalls and opportunities are plentiful as are various hostelries near London Bridge for a post walk meal and/or drink.

Have fun!

7 of us met at Westminister station , and walked along the south bank to London Bridge. It was an enjoyable stroll and hot mulled wine taken in by some along the way.
The weather was dry, and a fun time was had by all.
The walk could have gone on for ever as the building work by Southwark bridge meant that we could have gone round and round forever. As the lack of signs brought confusion. However we were intelligent enough to find a way forward.
Six of us went in the very busy, as pretty well always, Market Porter in Borough Market (9th best pub in London), and I enjoyed three pints of the Portobello breweries Market Porter beer. Some of us had a small meal.

Gavin your “9th best pub” comment sounds very definite - do you have an authoritative source?
