Evening Walk: Walking the Wall

Thursday Evening:  Walking the Wall (Tower Hill to Blackfriars or Circular)

Distance:          Approximately 2.8 miles/4.5 km or 4.2 miles/6.8 km

Difficulty:         1 out of 10

Meet:                Outside Tower Hill Tube Station (main exit facing Trinity Square) at 18:30

Return:             Blackfriars (train or tube), back to Tower Hill (tube) or various other drop out points

This is a fascinating short walk that explores the perimeter of London’s Roman Wall. It passes by many substantial sections of the wall that have been incorporated into the modern city of London – a real window into history. In addition to comprehensive walk notes, the route is speckled with information panels proving interesting insights into the history of London.

More information about the route can be found here.

Enjoy the walk!

#9 including one latecomer on a #mild night. A really interesting walk along the Wall with many of the extant sections looking very impressive in the dark.
Pubs near Blackfriars were very busy. I think about 6 ate at Rudds but it was too noisy for me.
