Thames Path: London Bridge to Greenwich
Distance: 6 miles or 10 km for those more metrically minded t=swc.245
Difficulty: 1 out of 10
Meet: London Bridge Station, Tooley Street exit across from Hays Galleria (also, in front of the Shipwrights Arms)
Time: 18:30 – but if you miss our departure, you can certainly catch us up along the way…
Finish: Greenwich DLR, mainline train or Clipper service, take your pick
This segment of the Thames Path makes for an enjoyable evening outing along the river with the lights of the city aglow. It starts with the bustle of an urban center, but soon becomes much quieter…The route is all on pavements and reasonably well lit – so should not pose a problem in low light….
Plenty of historic (and not so historic) refreshment points along the way, including the Angel, the Mayflower and the Dog and Bell…then a variety of venues in Greenwich….. If only there is time to try them all before 10pm....
More information and the instructions can be found here.
Enjoy the walk!

8 assembled outside London Bridge more or less on time....so 6 set-off promptly leaving 2 to wait for a late arrival...The lead group stopped at the historic Mayflower for a drink on their patio....while the second group passed us up and stopped at one of the later watering holes....where we then passed them...in Deptford, we bumped into one more who waited to join the second group....In Greenwich, the first group managed to just scrap into an evening meal at the Old Brewery...at 9pm....to enjoy possibly one of the last indoor group meals for a while....so a total of n=11 in w=most-dry-conditions. The night sky along the river was fabulous with the City and CW lights....the tide very low...and the fox count very high...
