This walk follows the last 6 km of the River Wandle
Trail in south west London to the River Thames, then follows a pretty stretch
of the Thames Path through Wandsworth Park to Putney. The walk finishes at a
large riverside pub, with options to continue along the Thames Path or explore
2 more riverside parks. The Wandle Trail section is a mix of paths alongside a
narrow river, small urban parks and open spaces (some nice, some unkempt)
passing back gardens and some industrial areas. The Trail is waymarked, but
mainly for cyclists (blue signs with a water wheel for cyclists, green signs
with a water wheel for walkers).
Eat/Drink: By Putney Bridge - a Wetherspoon’s and a Young’s.

About #10 after some late comers caught up on a #pleasantly-warm evening. Most enjoyed the end of the Wandle trail then a short stretch of Thames Path which was new to many . The riverside Wethies was very crowded with teenagers comemmerating A level results day. Most left soon after eating as nearby Putney Bridge tube was closed due to the strike. The late evening bus rides were surprisingly quick. No route changes, but new riverside developments look promising
