Overview

This walk utilises The Line, London’s inaugural dedicated public art walk, boasting a collection of 24 art installations created by various artists. Spanning from Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park to Greenwich Peninsula, The Line follows the waterways and traces the path of the Meridian, from which it derives its name. Our journey begins alongside the River Lea, passing through Three Mills, and continuing to Royal Victoria Dock, where we'll embark on a cable car ride across the Thames. Finally, our route concludes with a scenic stretch along the Thames Path, circling the Greenwich Peninsula before reaching North Greenwich Underground Station.

The cable car prices are as follows: £6 for adults (with a £1 discount available for online bookings), and £3.00 for concessions (available only at the ticket office). Depending on the day's traffic, there may be a wait for the cable car.

Various cafe and loo options.
