Evening Walk - Heiligabend (*) by the Thames: Southbank Winter Market and Winter by the River

Length: 5 km 

Ascent: none

Net Walking Time: 1 ½ hour

 

Meet: 18:30 at Westminster Tube Station at street level, by the only exit across the street from the Clock Tower (containing Big Ben), with Westminster Bridge to the left.

Finish: London Bridge Station

 

Easy walk along the South Bank of the Thames, taking in the Southbank Winter Market and Winter by the River, further along between London Bridge and Tower Bridge (then walk back to London Bridge, or take a bus). There will be food and drink stalls (including an apres-ski themed bar), knick-knacks, no doubt any amount of tacky Christmas gear but maybe also some useful and tasteful stuff, Stone Curling lanes and much more.

 

*) Winter by the River closes early on Heiligabend (Christmas Eve), which is why we are walking this the day before.
