Short London Breaks - Takes A Walk Along the Thames
Short London Breaks always welcomes the opportunity to press the healthy outdoors living - and
possibly a city break in the capital doesnt immediately lend itself to thoughts of walking out
and taking in some fresh air, but with the growth and investiture that has taken place over the recent few years into the Thames
walk way, thats just what you can do on a golden fine day like now.
If you’re barely in the city for the weekend then the ensuing walk ticks lots of different boxes - sight-seeing chances,
culinary delicacies, civilisation, and best of all, good on the budget!
If youre approaching the walk by subway then Id commend taking off at either London Bridge or Borough stations.
Hailing down of either of those lead North until you come to the the River Thames.
Why not lead off your walk by launching out onto London Bridge itself? Although it doesnt have the of lots of the other bridges
it does yield a grand place to take pictures of Tower Bridge as well as The Tower of London on the North Bank of the Thames.
Then manoeuvring west on the river once again you shouldnt leave out a perusal around Borough Market - a proper
treat for all the gastronomes out there who desire inspiration or just something unique to nosh on.
The market specialises in goods from moderate companies and manufacturers from round the UK - but it also is
a outstanding place to observe olives from Greeece, fromage from France, Ostrich from South Africa, chillies from Brazil - the list is infinite.
Its a exceptional place to nab a sandwich for later on in your walk as well.
Extending along back to the river you’ll run across some of the optimum panoramas of the river from here - with the City of London
offering its best hypnotic face, including the Lloyds Building, the Gherkin,St Pauls, the Barbican etc etc.
There are a wealth of affordable eateries along the river walk at this leg - pizza, Greek, up market burger shops also - so
if youre in the market for a mid-price dinner as a break this is a fabulous site to choose, and you can relish the river vistas at the same time.
Many of the restaurant on here are part of the larger restaurant groups and so its worth assessing out their websites
for deduction coupons and budget offers - try Pizza Express, The Real Greek, the Gourmet Burger Kitchen for instance.
Extending along the Thames Path then you’ll before long meet the rebuilt Globe Theatre on your left and its worth dropping in and looking out for
the special offers. They do marvellous standing tickets for the evening performances and given the architecture and
atmosphere of the place at around £5 it makes for a unforgettable night’s entertainment even if plays arent your usual thing.
Continuiung our amble along the SOuth Bank, coming to the Millenium Bridge you’re confronted with a pair of alternatives.
Merely walking out onto the bridge, once again, gives some good pic chances, but it also allows you to hive off up to St Pauls Cathedral and attend
Christopher Wren’s masterpiece.
Returning to the Southside there’s more free culture available in the form of the Tate Modern - which always has
a central exhibit in the main hall which generally delights even the most disinterested art viewer.
Just the outline should fill at least three hours of your morning, but if youre still keen to hit the pavement more then keep along the river to the South Bank
complex - go into the Royal Festival Hall, up to the 6th floor balcony and savour some of the best sights of London. Dont forget to take your camera with you
and this is an afternoon when the budget wont be hit badly at all!.
