Evening Walk: London train terminus stations walk via the Southbank (Charing Cross to Liverpool Street)

Thursday Evening:  London train terminus stations walk via the Southbank (Charing Cross to Liverpool Street)

Distance:          Approximately 5.3 miles or 8.6 km for those more metrically minded

Difficulty:         1 out of 10

Meet:                In the forecourt in front of Charing Cross Station at 18:30

End:             Liverpool Street

As the Southbank is becoming festive, I thought it would be a good time to do the segment of the London train terminus walk that follows the Southbank. From its start at Charing Cross Station, the route crosses the Thames, goes along the Southbank and then crosses and recrosses the river, past many interesting sights and into the heart of the City of London.

More information about the route can be found here.  Please bring a print out of the instructions (not just the GPX) as there is a lot of background information within the walk notes.

Enjoy the walk!

5 assembled in the forecourt of Charing Cross to admire the grand architecture of the building before setting of on this interesting walk exploring London's terminus stations. The route took us through Charing Cross and over the river to Waterloo which we walked past (rather than entering). We then carried along the Southbank for a spell with its festive market stalls and an interesting series of light installations. We crossed over the river again to pass by Cannon Street station and then recrossed on London Bridge where we met number n=6. With most being familiar with London Bridge station, we opted to walk along the river and then diverted to Shad Thames for some food and beverage before most returned to London Bridge. A fun night out in w=dry-cold-conditions.
